Welcome to Wolfson
At Wolfson College, Oxford, we love events.
We’re keen to share our Modernist masterpiece on the banks of the Cherwell - and we’ve built an
experienced professional team to help you plan for your occasion.
Wolfson was designed from the start for accessibility: in contrast to our medieval neighbours, we have
large rooms, broad corridors, and easy parking right by the entrance. Inside our walls, you’ll find
an auditorium and meeting rooms with state-of-the-art technology, plus heritage guest rooms with
en-suite facilities and built-in kitchens; every space is lined with works from the Wolfson art collection.
At Wolfson, we’ve built a reputation for fine dining. Our kitchens and serving staff work to restaurant
standards, with the extra personal touches that make events special. Our planning team will help you to
create an experience that guests will remember for a lifetime.
Wolfson is open for:
Conferences • Weddings • Birthdays • Anniversaries • Reunions • Product Launches • Concerts
Operas • Retreats • Lectures • Dinners • Book Launches • Filming • Corporate Events • Family Events
and more.
In the following pages, we go into more detail about our facilities, our experience, and - above all -
the warm Wolfson welcome.

Sebastian Stefanov BSc
Head of Catering and Events at Wolfson College
Bryony Marshall-Falland
Events Sales Officer at Wolfson College
Sofia Miron
Events Host at Wolfson College
Meet Our
Sebastian is the head of the department, and it’s his
job to manage the team, making sure that everyone
does their job perfectly - from planning the event,
to performing on the Big Day.
No-one knows more about the facilities at Wolfson
than Sebastian, a hospitality professional with fifteen
years of industry experience. At Wolfson, he’s used
to dealing not only with demanding clients, but the
fellows of the College too, who expect high standards
in catering as in everything else.
In his spare time, Sebastian travels abroad to
experience new cultures and cuisines. So if you’d
like suggestions on how to surprise and delight your
guests with something a little unexpected,
Sebastian is on your side.
Bryony is the public face of Events at Wolfson,
and you’ll be dealing with her on a day-to-day basis.
In events since 2014, she has organised large
conferences, weddings, Christmas parties, book
launches, academic symposia and summer schools,
so she knows exactly what works on the day.
With a background in customer services and sales,
she’s a ‘people’ person and a ‘details’ person.
In her spare time she has a passion for walking
and exploring new places.
Depending on the size of the event, you could have
quite number of Events Hosts helping out on the day,
so Sofia is here to represent them. While you’re
hosting the day, Sofia’s job is to minimise your
worries, making sure that things work as planned,
both behind the scenes and in front of them.
So Sofia - like all our Hosts - will be smart, energetic
and discreet: with a grasp of the timetable and an eye
for detail. She’ll take the initiative if guests need extra
help or if extra hands are needed.
Sofia studied International Relations and Sociology.
She says:
“Events have always been my passion: I enjoy getting the
details right, and making sure that people have the best
experience possible.”

Weddings
A wedding at Wolfson doesn’t need to be formal.
We’ve built up the sort of experience, over several years, that makes a special day really special,
whether it’s relaxed or a little more traditional. We’ll use all the facilities of the college to make
your day perfect - from the skills of our chefs, to the best places down by the river for a photograph.
There’s plenty of space inside the College for guests: we can handle a sit-down wedding breakfast for
from 150 to up to 250, if you decide on a buffet. In the evening, the College Hall becomes a ballroom,
with a dance floor, disco lighting and room for 250 dancers. (Outside term time, the music can go on 24
hours a day - we’re not going to annoy the neighbours. The serving of alcohol is up to 1am Fridays and
Saturdays, and up to midnight for any other day).
We’ll share our address book with you, so that together we can create an ideal wedding, working with
people we know and trust. We know bespoke wedding cake makers; some of the best floral designers
in the country; and a heap of musical talent - harpists, quartets, jazz bands, DJs, singers, and even
bagpipe players. Not to mention children’s entertainers and magicians!
Wolfson is more than just a place to hold the reception. You’ll get a unique location - plus a unique level
of service.

Conferences
Take a day - or as long as you need.
The College is available throughout the year for day-long conferences and events. And during the
University’s long holidays, we have room for delegates to stay for longer, in up to 90 spacious
and well-appointed college rooms.
We have everything you need for a conference: parking, security, and spacious meeting rooms with the
latest audio-visual equipment. You won’t need to go out for meals, either: our kitchens and chefs are
experienced at producing ‘themed’ meals to suit your event, with every option available from sushi
canapés during a break, to mature British venison for the evening dinner (and, if appropriate, something
from the college cellars).
Wolfson is popular with conference organisers from all over the world, with some clients returning
again and again. It’s not just the buildings and facilities; it’s our support and planning team.
We aim to get the details right - and then to add the element of surprise.
We’ll work with you to make your conference both successful, and memorable.

Book Launches
Details matter. Once the book’s been written, the cover design chosen,
the timing fixed - there’s still the matter of the launch.
At Wolfson, we understand the importance of getting the launch right - for the publisher, the
guests, and the nervous author. After all, we’ve hosted a lot of launches for the Fellows of our own
college. We’re on your side.
How the day goes is up to you. You could have an hour or so, with drinks and specially themed
canapés. Or a Q&A in front of an audience in Wolfson Auditorium. Or even a celebratory dinner
in our dining room, which will give our chefs a chance to show their skills.
As you know, it’s not an end but a transition; when the book passes the writing stage and takes on
a life of its own. You don’t need to be a Fellow to launch your book at Wolfson; but you’ll be in a
place where books get treated with respect.
11

Music & Performance,
indoors and out
Wolfson is an ideal place for smaller-scale but memorable concerts and events.
Indoors, the award-winning Leonard Wolfson auditorium has excellent acoustics and comfortable seating
for up to 155 people; we own a Steinway grand piano which can be booked for recitals.
Outdoors, the various quads form an ideal backdrop for open-air performances; and then there are the
college grounds sloping down to the river - an ideal setting for light opera, jazz, folk or anything that
sounds good on a summer evening.
Naturally, the college has all the supporting facilities you need: parking, security, ticketing, catering, a bar,
and pleasant places to be during the interval - such as the balcony, with its views of the river.
We have disabled access everywhere (and decent plumbing).
An event at Wolfson is more than just another gig. It makes your audience feel special.
13

Product Launches
Wolfson is a graduate college, a centre for academic excellence, and home to several important
‘research clusters’. So if you have an innovative product that’s about to take off, Wolfson is the ideal
launch pad.
Thanks to our state-of-the-art teleconferencing facilities, you can share your event with the world.
At the same time, you can reward your sponsors, investors, buyers and development team with
the full Wolfson experience. We’ll design a menu for the evening that’s themed to suit the event;
our sommelier will help you to chose a wine from the cellars. If it’s the right time of year, you
won’t need to leave; during the university holidays, we have plenty of well-appointed rooms to
house the team.
A launch at Wolfson means that all that tough development work leads to an efficiently run event,
in elegant modern surroundings, with excellent food. Hard work should be rewarded.
15

Filming
The College’s main buildings, designed by Powell and Moya and completed in 1974, are rare
examples of listed Modernist work. The three-quadrangle layout makes it easy to cordon off areas into
secluded working spaces.
The college can boast sloping lawns running down to the Cherwell, and even its own Punt Harbour,
which allows punting and boating scenes to be shot away from the traffic of the main river.
There’s plenty of room for catering, dressing rooms, administration, accommodation, and of course we
have on-site parking (hard to find in Oxford). At certain times of the year, the entire space can be made
available for your shoot.
So whether you want to create a secret HQ, a corporate centre, a billionaire’s hangout - or even
a progressive college - have a word with Wolfson.

Kitchen Philosophy
“A fox knows many things, but a hedgehog one important thing”.
(The starting point for ‘The Fox and the Hedgehog’, an essay by Isaiah Berlin,
first President of Wolfson.)
At Wolfson College, our chefs concentrate on one important thing: delivering food to the highest
standards that we can achieve.
Whenever possible, we use locally sourced ingredients for their freshness and quality: such as apples
from the Harwell orchards, which go well with Oxford Blue Cheese. Then, we look for other
specialities as much as possible from within the UK, such as Aberdeen Angus beef, or lamb from
the Romsey salt marshes.
Our menus are modern and adventurous, and support local producers (says the fox, who is
interested in many things). But above all, it’s the quality that matters (says the hedgehog, who knows
one important thing).
It could be a snack lunch at a conference, canapés at a launch event, or a full-scale banquet.
But whatever your event, and whatever the time of day, the food in front of you will never be
ordinary. For you and your guests, our aim is to achieve surprise and delight. In our kitchen
philosophy, that’s what matters.

Wedding Packages
Example Menu - Enquire for Pricing
A wedding is a unique combination
of the public and the personal.
With our experience of catering for larger
numbers, we can help you to choose from
a wide range of options: from a colourful
buffet, to a gorgeous afternoon tea, to a
traditional sit-down wedding breakfast with
all the trimmings.
Once you’ve chosen the format, we’ll make it
personal. The choice of food could reflect the
theme of your day: you can include childhood
or family favourites, or select exotic dishes
from your travels, or go entirely vegetarian.
The menus here are only a starting point.
It’s your day, you choose. We’ll make sure
that the results will be both marvellous,
and memorable.

Making Connections
Across the Globe
IT with no compromises
Oxford is mediaeval; Wolfson is a 20th century foundation; but the IT facilities at Wolfson are firmly in
the 21st century. Thanks to our policy of continuous investment, our IT systems can match those of
any other academic institution in the world.
We have high-speed broadband installed throughout the College, with plenty of capacity for data-heavy
applications such as virtual conferencing. Wolfson is the ideal location for conferences in which a small
number of platform speakers attend in person, while a much larger number of participants are able to
join the event, from home or from their offices around the world.
Our events team includes dedicated IT managers to make sure that you have everything you need in
terms of connections, power, PA systems, cameras and displays. On the day itself, they’ll be there to
make sure that everything runs smoothly.
Whether you’re there to make personal connections, or you need to connect with a worldwide
audience, Wolfson gives you the connectivity to make it happen.

Abridged History of the College
Wolfson has grown and evolved over the past 50 years, retaining its founding
President Sir Isaiah Berlin’s egalitarian ethos of being ‘new, untrammelled and
unpyramided’. The College officially became Wolfson College in 1966, when
it was renamed in honour of Sir Isaac Wolfson, who contributed toward the
College’s foundation.
In 1965, the University of Oxford founded Iffley College. Later the same year Sir Isaiah Berlin was
invited to be the College’s first President. Through his efforts, generous benefactions were received
from the Wolfson Foundation and the Ford Foundation, which enabled the College to include
graduate students. The first of these were admitted in October 1968.
The College’s buildings, designed by architects Powell and Moya, were ready for occupation
in 1974 and the College received its Royal Charter in 1981.
Learn more
Wolfson College Oxford – The First Fifty Years by John Penney and Roger Tomlin,
gives a detailed account of the College’s history and is available from the Lodge.

The
College
Art
Collection
Wolfson College manages an outstanding collection of paintings, drawings, prints,
photographs, textiles, sculptures and ceramics. Artworks are displayed throughout
the college. We are fortunate that loans from artists, collectors and museums
ensure the view is periodically refreshed.
Exhibitions
Art Exhibitions are held regularly in the Private Dining Room and the Florey Room, on the third floor.
Private views, with refreshments, which usually take place on Sundays, are advertised in advance and are open
to all members. All exhibitions are open daily 10:00 to 19:00 subject to College commitments.
Please call the Lodge on +44 (0) 1865 274 100 before visiting.
To find out what exhibition we have on display please see our Event Calendar: www.wolfson.ox.ac.uk/events

Sustainability
Wolfson is working on reducing its environmental impact by promoting
positive ways in which students and staff can participate.
Green Team
The College has an informal committee working together with the Home Bursar to improve college
sustainability. We discuss and take action on a range of issues. If you would like to come along to one of
our bi-termly meetings, please contact the Home Bursar’s Office or talk to the current Environmental
Rep, Angelina Palmen.
Recycling
The College provides recycling facilities through Oxfordshire Council for its residents.
Recycling is an integral part of correct waste disposal.
Food Waste Recycling
The College encourages its residents to consider the environmental impact of food waste in landfill.
Plant-based Diet
Many studies demonstrate the strong connection between meat consumption and global warming.
As a College community, we want to take responsibility for our carbon footprint and create a positive
culture around switching to a more plant-based diet by consistently providing vegan food options.
Saturday brunch now offers a popular full Vegan breakfast alternative, and during the term a vegan food
option is provided with every informal meal. Out of term, vegan food options are guaranteed at least on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Green Impact Award
Wolfson College is taking part in Green Impact, a National Union of Students initiative run by the
Environmental Sustainability team at the University encouraging departments and colleges to work
towards making positive environmental sustainability changes in their workplace. Wolfson College has
received a Green Impact Silver Award for efforts in improving sustainability for two consecutive years
2015-2017.
Green Roof
The new Academic wing and lecture theatre have small areas of green roof planted with Sedum,
a carpet of succulent plants that flower a beautiful yellow in summer. Over the next few years, the green
roof will be extended across the entire roof space of the Academic wing. You can view the current
green roof from the upper level at the main entrance to the Academic wing or from Linton Road.
Benefits of the green Sedum roof include the absorption of rainwater, provision of insulation, creation of
habitat for wildlife, and mitigation of the heat island effect by lowering urban air temperatures.
The Green Roof was supplied by Bauder who are one of Europe leading roofing companies and
specialist in green roofing.
Solar Panels
The College has 44 photovolataic panels (PV) on the roof of A Block. The PV cells in the panels don’t
need direct sunlight to work - they can still generate some electricity on a cloudy day. The cells convert
the sunlight into electricity and this will either be used by the College or sold to the National Grid.
Plan Bee
The College has very recently installed a ‘Bee Hotel’ in the Bishop’s Garden as part of the Oxford-wide
campaign to provide better bee habitats and enables research into cavity-nesting solitary bees.
Reducing Single-use Plastic
The College is actively trying to reduce its environmental footprint by working toward abandoning
single-use plastics. Refill points are replacing plastic water bottles sold in the Hall. In the academic year
2017-18, the BarCo decided to no longer order in plastic straws, and is trialling reusable plastic pint
glasses. As of Michaelmas 2018, Wolfson Cafe has been selling certified KeepCups with the Wolfson
logo, in an attempt to reduce the number of single-use takeaway cups. Cheaper hot beverages are on
offer for those presenting their reusable KeepCup. The Events Office are now also using starch-based
compostable cups for conferences and events.

Getting to Wolfson
Wolfson College is located on the green edge of Oxford, on the banks
of the Cherwell.
Unlike much of Oxford, we’re car-friendly, with plenty of free guest parking
on the site.
We’re ten minutes by cab from Oxford railway station, and less than an
hour by car from Heathrow airport. If you go by train from Heathrow to
Oxford, it’s closer to two hours.
You can also reach the College in 15 minutes by hired bicycle from the city
centre. Or go by punt: we have our own punt dock on the river.
When travelling by punt, the time doesn’t matter.
