Recommendations for Accommodation
Many of the Colleges offer good value self-catering or BnB accommodation. You can search vacancies on Conference Oxford or University Rooms.
Linton Lodge and Cotswold Lodge offer higher-end accommodation, although the price reflects this and transit to the venue would be required.
Accommodation located in Headington tends to be cheaper and is close to the conference venue, but can lack some of the character that Oxford is known for.
The location of the conference (for the most parts) is Oxford Brookes University, Headington Rd, Headington, Oxford OX3 0BP. https://maps.app.goo.gl/XKEo3fe2deppymsE8
