The Dining Hall is at the heart of College life and provides an elegant banqueting and fine dining experience for our guests.

Completed in the late 18th Century as one of the foundational buildings of Worcester College, our fine Hall has been entertaining guests for decades. Unlike many Oxford college halls, at Worcester you’ll dine in a light and airy space filled with natural light. Take in the portraits of former provosts and alumni and take a closer look at our beautiful stained glass window depicting banqueting scenes from Shakespeare. In 2018, the original Georgian interior was restored thanks to a generous benefaction from the Linbury Trust.
