It is the Summertown Speakeasy and everyone is invited for a night of ‘Speakeasy Style’ fun as we return after with the Big Saturday Jazz & Swing Dance Night Out.
When it's the 3rd Saturday of the month, that means it is time to head to the Speakeasy.
Our DJs will be hard at work playing the best in Big Band Swing from all the great Jazz artists that made it famous.
Join us for music, dancing and a night of glamour as we open the doors to our art deco ballroom once more. It's time to get dressed up and come party with us.

We look forward to welcoming you again for a great night out. At the Speakeasy we always provide a warm glow and a jumping hot dance floor. Tell your friends and make your way to Oxford.
As you enter you will see the stage to your right and a dance floor in front of you. Then to your left you will find a raised platform with a seated area. It is set out in a cafe style layout with refreshments to help yourself.
How much does the Summertown Speakeasy cost?
Admission : £8 Summertown Members – £12 Non-Members.
(Summertown Membership costs £30 for the year and entitles you to discounts at all our classes and events).
Our inspiration has been the great ballrooms of the Jazz Age. The term was made famous by F Scott Fitzgerald in his collection of eleven short stories called Tales Of The Jazz Age. Consequently we have tried to recapture the vintage glamour he lived through. We strive to create a dance night for Jazz music lovers, Lindy hoppers and other swing style dancers. Our aim is that it will be somewhere you want to come back to again and again.
The Big Saturday Jazz & Swing Dance Night Out
We can’t wait to welcome back our regular faces to the Speakeasy, as well as entice a few new faces to visit us for the first time. We have a car park for exclusive use by our patrons which has room for 76 cars and is free to use. There is contingency with a second car park if we fill that, so we think we have everyone covered. As long as you avoid the centre of town and reach us via the ring road, you should also avoid the various traffic reducing measures in place in Oxford.
Dig out your Saturday night outfits and join us for the big Band Swing & Dance night out.
How to find us
If you approach along Marston Ferry Road from Headington & Marston. Head towards the Banbury Road junction, the turning is on the right just before you reach the junction.
If you approach from Banbury Road. Take the turning for Marston Ferry Road and the entrance will be a left turn into the school. It’s about 0.2 miles so keep an eye out for the turning.
The Speakeasy opens its doors at 8pm which is after the congestion zone charges apply, therefore there is no congestion charge to pay as long as it is after 6:30pm.
Problems with Sat-Nav
Apparently, there is an issue using the postcode with Sat Nav that directs you wrongly. This is due to a shared postcode. If you are using Sat Nav please ensure you enter “Cherwell School NORTH Site” on Marston Ferry Road.
Please note. If you attend our weekly Wednesday night classes, you are going to the other site on the opposite side of the road. The Summertown Speakeasy is at the North Site, not the South Site. If you go to the South site you will be on the wrong side of the road. Hopefully that wont be too confusing for everyone. We will make plenty of announcements at class to hopefully remind everyone.
