Whether you are looking for music\, theatre\, comedy nights\, lectures\, conferences or even weddings\, it is the venue for you. \n\n\n\nThe Corn Exchange\, Witney\, was built by the private Corn Exchange Company in 1863\, replacing a 16th-century building used in the 1850s as a corn returns office.

Collier of Putney in an Italianate style and\, by 1875\, was Witney’s leading building. \n\n\n\nFrom the outset\, it was used for social events and meetings as well as corn dealings and housed several clubs and societies. The building continues to fulfil this purpose and will continue to do so in the future. \n\n\n\nWith the 19th-century building incorporating all the character you would expect\, plus the addition of modern facilities\, and not forgetting the in-house café and bar 1863\, The Corn Exchange is a destination and focal point for the people of West Oxfordshire and beyond. \n\n\n\nDiscover more about the Corn Exchange\, Witney\, including travel\, access and venue information.
