Oxford Friend

Oxford Friend is a volunteer organization, founded in 1980, that helps gay people and the wider LGBTQ+ community in Oxford. It's been an important part of the city for over 40 years.

You'll find it on Cornmarket Street, right in the city center. This isn't a bar or a club; it’s a place for free information and support. Think of it as a community hub where you can get practical help, find local resources, or learn about LGBTQ+-friendly services around town.

If you're visiting Oxford and want to meet locals, or just need advice about LGBTQ+ services, this is where to go. Volunteers run the place, so they know what the community needs.

Oxford Friend’s central location and long history make it a vital piece of the city's infrastructure, the kind of place that actually makes a city feel welcoming to LGBTQ+ travelers. If you want to tap into real local knowledge or make connections, start here.
