Useful Information
Accommodation
The Reunion Weekend is held just before the start of Michaelmas Term and so the colleges are still open for B&B bookings.
Visit http://www.universityrooms.com/en/city/oxford/home to find accommodation in your college.
Alternatively https://www.dailyinfo.co.uk/venues/hotels has a comprehensive list of Oxford hotels and private B&B options.
Childcare
We welcome alumni and their families to the Reunion Weekend and intend that the schedule enables everyone to enjoy their time in Oxford. However we are unable to accommodate children (other than babies) at the Reunion Dinner. If you would like to employ a babysitter for Saturday evening, Oxfordshire County Council's website should provide you with contacts.

Please note, the Said Business School has no experience of any babysitting services and is unable to recommend or endorse any service.
If you are staying in an hotel over the weekend you may find that concierge/reception staff can help you with this.
