St Catherine's is the perfect environment in which to unwind after a hard day's work. Our guests can relax in the bar, hire a punt from our boathouse, be inspired by our modern sculptures or simply rest in the shade of a tree by the river.
All our conference visitors are welcome to use our gym facilities and our squash courts. The key for these facilities is available from the Porters' Lodge. Please note that the gym and squash courts are used entirely at the individual's own risk as it is not possible to provide gym inductions during conference time.
We invite you to enjoy the grounds, wander in the gardens and relax, carry on your discussions in the bar, or enjoy the sights and sounds of Oxford, historic and modern, which are only a short stroll away.
The College also has a small number of its own punts for hire - details are available from the Porters' Lodge. However should you wish to organise a large punting expedition for your conference, please contact either

St Catherine's is a complete environment, and our dedicated conference team do all they can to ensure that you and your delegates get the most from your time with us.
We offer our guests a great many ways to relax with us. The Junior Common Room lounge and bar are available for all conference guests, and during warmer weather they are welcome to relax in the gardens. Designed by Arne Jacobsen, these are noted by English heritage as being of special interest.
Should you wish to go further afield, the centre of Oxford is a short walk away. There is also footpath access to the University parks.
