The original Keble College site was founded in the 1870s to commemorate John Keble, a leader of the ‘Oxford Movement’, and is one of Oxford’s architectural landmarks. Its original brick Victorian building, described as “one of the finest of its date in England”, has been complemented and supplemented by award-winning contemporary developments. The famous Holman-Hunt painting, The Light of the World, can be viewed in the Keble Chapel, which is open daily to all.
The College is spread over two sites, a five-minute walk apart; Keble on Parks Road and The H B Allen Centre. The original Parks Road site was opened in 1870 and consists of four main Quads, centred around the historic Dining Hall with its wood panelling and high ceilings evoking images of Harry Potter and the Great Hall at Hogwarts School. The H B Allen Centre has a far more modern design – the centre opened in 2019 and offers state of the art facilities, including a Harvard-style lecture theatre, and the contemporary Robin Geffen Café, ideal for more relaxed meal or drinks breaks.
It's with thanks to Bronwyn that this event is taking place in such a fabulous location. Keble have been B4 members since 2022 and we are lucky to have such an engaged host for this event.
"This is such a privilege for Keble College. The collaborative and community nature of this event fits in perfectly with the ethos of Keble and we couldn't be happier to host what we know will be an amazing event." Commented Bronwyn.
