SHELDONIAN THEATRE

The Sheldonian theatre is the principal assembly room of the university of Oxford and the regular meeting place of Congregation, the body which controls the University’s affairs. It has beautifully served its purpose for over 350 years now with its elegant and stunning design and marvelously rich craftsmanship. It still provides an exquisite set-up for ceremonial occasions.

The Sheldonian theatre is famous for its uniqueness of performance space and acoustics which is why we say it is a must to attend an event at the Sheldonian. It hosts several rich programs including concerts, lectures, talks, and other publicly accessible performances. The Sheldonian is one of the must-see places in Oxford whether you want to explore the theatre or attend a music concert. It is famous for its exceptional history and it is one of Oxford's recognizable landmarks.

The neoclassical building was designed by the celebrated architect Sir Christopher Wren. The beautiful theatre is also available to hire to host weddings, concerts, private events, and meetings. Make sure to check the opening hours of the theatre since it’s subject to change.
