Sohmen Concert Hall

The Sohmen Concert Hall sits in Oxford and serves as a proper venue for classical music and theatrical performances. It's a working theatre space rather than a museum piece, so what you experience depends entirely on what's on when you visit - check their schedule before planning around it.

This isn't a tourist attraction you'd pop into for an hour between other activities. You're here for a specific show, which means you need to plan ahead. The hall itself is modest compared to some of Oxford's grander venues, but that's part of its appeal if you're after something more intimate than a sprawling concert hall.

Theatre-goers and classical music fans will get the most from a visit, obviously. If you're staying at Diamond Caravan Park - which is about six miles out - and you fancy a night of live performance in Oxford, it's worth checking what's on. The park itself isn't brilliant, but using it as a base to explore Oxford proper makes sense, and catching a concert or play at Sohmen breaks up a caravan holiday nicely.

Admission and opening hours vary by performance, so you'll need to contact the venue directly or check locally once you're in Oxford. Budget for ticket prices depending on what's showing. Allow an evening for a show, plus time for parking and getting to your seat before curtain up.
