Accommodation

Oxford is a far more expensive destination than Chester and it is regretted that costs are going to be higher this year. It is only possible to book 7 nights accommodation and I can advise that the cost will be £375 for an en-suite studio. These provide a 4 foot bed, en-suite shower, a kitchenette equipped with multi-function oven (grill, microwave and oven), hob, kettle, fridge freezer, dining table and a work desk. The cost, to include bedding, towels and a dining set will be £375 room only. Please note that the beds are 3/4 sized doubles, i.e. 4 foot. Should you wish to prepare a meal yourself you will need to bring your own pots and pans. However, ready meals etc. can be heated/cooked in the facilities provided.

Free parking is also available! Just make sure that on arrival your car registration is entered on the Tablet at/wiith Reception.

 Access is from Westminster Way signposted West Way Shopping Centre. Head for the upper level. Reception is then down a flight of stairs and to your left.

The accommodation is West Way Square Botley. Details can be found by clicking on the link. As far as I am aware we are allocated Superior studios but I cannot guarantee this. There are several communal spaces including a furnished out door roof terrace.

The complex has Tesco and Co-op supermarkets. a pharmacy as well as a couple of eateries.

Although transport into the city centre is plentiful due to a Network Rail project this now has to be underaken in 2 sections with a short walk in between.

Please pay your balance of £300 or if a deposit has not been paid the full amount of £375 by 1st July 2023. 

Choir meal Saturday 5th August 2023

We are now booked at The White House by Tap Social, 38 Abingdon Road, Oxford, OX1 4PD. 7:30pm for 8pm.

This is an interesting venue and I would recommend that you read their story here. The menu choices are somewhat more limited than is often the case but I hope there is something that you will like. The hotels in Oxford were all seeking unrealistic prices for our event so this venue is something of a compromise which does provide us with a private room.

Please follow this link to complete the survey for your menu choices. As ever a pre-order is required so I would be grateful for your prompt responses and at the latest by Friday 21st July 2023. Thank you for your co-operation.

As ever, pre-orders will be required and the relevant survey will be sent out early July. Cost is £35 per person for a 3 course meal. Please make payment to the choir account: Sort Code: 40-52-40; Account Number: 00020909.

Where available, online versions of sheet music are linked from the 'music' section above.

Once the music list has been agreed with the cathedral, Ed will create a Spotify playlist and provide video recordings below.  Please bear in mind that the sheet music and recordings linked from here may differ subtly to our own version on the day.
