WELCOME
On the banks of the River Thames, just a short drive from
the heart of Oxford, lies De Vere Oxford Thames.
A destination quite unlike any other. Here 15th Century tradition meets modern style, turning everyday meetings, conferences
and team building into inspirational experiences.
Start the day in style, arriving by boat to our private jetty. Then enjoy a productive day in our light and airy event spaces. With 30 acres of
beautiful grounds to explore, there’s plenty of opportunity for grabbing a breath of fresh air. Our gardens also create a wonderful backdrop for
outdoor activities and team building. And at the end of the day, what could be better than enjoying a drink or meal with colleagues
in the bar or grounds?
Welcome.
