EVENTS
Commonwealth House is a place of community and diversity, and so to make sure that we have a strong community where residents can feel like they were at home we try to organise events throughout the year for all residents to join in with.
​
We encourage residents to come to our events throughout the year, including:
-
On the third Sunday, we have our monthly bring and share lunch, and at the beginning of each term we have a traditional English High Tea meal with all the trimmings, including Champagne.
​
-
We regularly try to go to local comedy nights, theatre plays, the cinema and festivals.​​
​
-
Picnics and Barbecues are also something we do regularly in the summer months.
​
-
In 2017 CWH organised several trips with the residents. We visited Cambridge, did a boat trip on the river Thames, went to the Christmas Market in Birmingham; visited a local restaurant for traditional English Breakfast, and woke up at 5am on May day to introduce internationals to another Oxford tradition.
​
-
Film nights are something we do monthly where we watch a film from a different country every month.
​
Regular annual events we have are the Easter party, a Summer Barbecue and the Christmas Banquet.
