The one downside with having a party in a pub is we can't all stay there....

But Oxford and the surrounding area is full of great places to stay. You'll have to get sorted early though as places get booked up with tourists really early.

Our village is close to the ringroad and a taxi back into Oxford at the end of the night will probably be around £15 so staying in the city is very do-able. We'll be putting a couple of mini-buses on for those staying in the more popular places as well such as Wheatley and Headington. This will be confirmed later.....

Option 1

Wheatley is a few miles from Oxford and has a cheap Travelodge.

You know what you're getting but it's not the nicest location the world.

Option 2

Book a local B&B in Headington.

Take your pick. Plenty to choose from. Just don't do what I normally do and leave it to the last minute or else you'll be sleeping in your car!
