Business leaders from across Oxfordshire will gather at Keble College on Thursday 16 April for the OBS2026 Gold Sponsors’ Dinner, an elegant evening bringing together sponsors and partners ahead of the Oxfordshire Business Summit at Blenheim Palace on 15 May 2026.
Hosted in the magnificent Great Hall at Keble College, the evening will begin with a drinks reception followed by a three-course dinner prepared by Keble Head Chef Freddy and his team.
More than a formal dinner, the event is designed to encourage meaningful conversation between today’s leaders and emerging leaders within our business community. Organisations are encouraged to attend in pairs — bringing both a current leader and someone within their organisation who represents the next generation of leadership.
The evening will also support two Oxfordshire charities — Be Free Young Carers and Oxfordshire Youth — who will be invited to share in the experience, reflecting the importance of widening access, raising aspirations and supporting the future talent of our county.
Date and time: Thursday 16 April 2026
Time: 7:00pm – 10:30pm
Venue: Keble College, Oxford
About Keble College
Founded in the 1870s to commemorate John Keble, a leader of the Oxford Movement, Keble College is one of Oxford’s most recognisable architectural landmarks. Its distinctive Victorian red-brick buildings, described as “one of the finest of its date in England,” sit alongside award-winning contemporary developments.
At the heart of the original Parks Road site is the historic Dining Hall, with its wood panelling and soaring ceilings reminiscent of the Great Hall at Hogwarts. The famous Holman-Hunt painting, The Light of the World, can also be viewed in Keble Chapel, which is open daily to visitors.
