The Randolph Hotel, Oxford
The Randolph Hotel provides a central base from which delegates can engage with the Summit programme and the wider Oxford experience.
Official Summit Venue
The Randolph Hotel celebrates 160 years, 1866–2026.
The Setting
Oxford is an internationally recognised centre for research, education, scientific discovery, technology commercialisation, entrepreneurship and investment. Few cities in the world hold this combination in one place.
It is a city where ideas move from laboratories and lecture halls into companies, patents and long-term capital — with an ecosystem of research institutes, spin-outs, science parks and investors that has developed over generations.
For a summit focused on how family capital is organised, invested and preserved, Oxford offers something a purely commercial setting cannot: an environment shaped by long time horizons.
Holding UKFOS here places delegates at the centre of one of the UK's most significant long-term investment stories — and away from the pace of London.
The Venue
The Garden Bar and Lancaster Room serve as the Summit's two principal networking areas, complemented by additional opportunities to connect in the Ballroom during scheduled breaks, lunches and evening receptions.
Keynotes, roundtables, networking, private meetings, lunches, invitation-only hosted dinners and hosted networking receptions all happen inside The Randolph Hotel.
Keeping delegates together creates a more personal environment where conversations continue naturally throughout both days.
This is intentional. UKFOS is designed to maximise meaningful interactions — not maximise delegate numbers.

Summit Spaces
UKFOS uses a series of distinct spaces across The Randolph Hotel — from the main programme rooms and networking environments to a small number of private rooms reserved for partner use.
Main Stage & Scheduled Networking
The Ballroom hosts the principal UKFOS panels, keynote discussions and shared programme moments across both Summit days.
With capacity for the full Summit audience, it is the central setting for the main-stage programme.
Networking also takes place in the Ballroom during scheduled breaks, lunches and evening receptions.
All Private Roundtables & Cornspring Private Lunch
St John's Room is the exclusive venue for all five confirmed Private Roundtables across both Summit days: three on Tuesday 24 November and two on Wednesday 25 November 2026.
Its smaller format supports focused discussion around specific investment and family-capital topics.
Cornspring: The private roundtable will be followed by a hosted private lunch in St John's Room. The lunch is for the same selected group of confirmed participants, not all delegates.
Networking Hub
The Garden Bar and Lancaster Room serve as the Summit's two principal networking areas, complemented by additional opportunities to connect in the Ballroom during scheduled breaks, lunches and evening receptions.
Four approved Exhibitor Booth positions are available within this shared environment.
The Garden Bar supports daytime networking, refreshments and the exhibitor environment where scheduled.
Daytime Networking & Evening Whisky Masterclasses
Lancaster Room is one of the Summit's two principal dedicated daytime networking areas, alongside Garden Bar, for delegate conversations, introductions and informal networking.
Lancaster Room exclusively hosts the Single Malt Scotch Whisky Investment & Tasting Masterclass on Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 November 2026, 18:00–19:30 each evening. It is not generally available for networking during the masterclasses. All Private Roundtables take place in St John's Room.
The Experience
Focused Discussion
Purposefully arranged rooms and quiet interiors support meaningful conversation. Keynotes, panels and closed-door roundtables are held in spaces designed for careful listening rather than performance.
Private Hosted Events
Evening programming may include invitation-only hosted dinners, partner hosted discussions, hosted networking receptions and curated evening events. Participation varies depending on invitation, sponsorship and programme arrangements — not all delegates attend all events.
Oxford Between Sessions
Delegates often continue conversations during coffee breaks, walks through central Oxford and informal meetings arranged throughout the programme. The city itself becomes part of the experience.
Location & Travel
Oxford is highly accessible from London, Heathrow and Birmingham. Direct trains from London Paddington reach the city in under an hour, and road connections from all major London airports are straightforward. This accessibility is one reason UKFOS has consistently drawn national and international delegates.

Delegate Booking Code
FOSO26
Enter this code at checkout on The Randolph booking page to receive 15% off the best available rate, including breakfast.
We recommend booking as early as possible. Rates increase closer to the event and availability is not guaranteed after 11 September 2026.
Between the Sessions
Many of the Summit's most valuable conversations happen outside formal sessions — over coffee, at hosted receptions, during partner dinners, in small group meetings and through introductions facilitated by the delegate team.
These moments are not scheduled to the minute. They are made possible by keeping the community small, the venue single and the programme paced with room to breathe. Meetings and introductions are supported, not guaranteed.
Longevity
Oxford's tradition of scholarship, preservation and long-term thinking aligns naturally with the topics UKFOS is built around: stewardship, sustainability, intergenerational wealth, responsible investment and innovation.
Choosing Oxford is a quiet statement of intent — that the questions worth discussing are the ones that outlast any single cycle, fund vintage or generation.
