Socially, there's something for everyone at St Edmund Hall. Our thriving College societies include Chapel Choir, the Teddy Hall Film Society, Christian Union and the John Oldham Society (Drama). Rowing, football and squash are just some of the sports on offer, and there are many other clubs, societies, and sports. With a further 200 University societies to choose from, coming to Oxford is the perfect time to try something new.
College clubs and societies are supported by the JCR and MCR, and also by the Amalgamated Clubs fund which provides small amounts of money for the purchase of equipment or to meet expenses.
Contact details for some of the above are on the JCR website.

The College has active sports teams for men and women in many different sports, and all undergraduate and postgraduate students are welcome to get involved. There are regular zumba and yoga sessions, plus a multi-gym open to all students, located at Norham Gardens. Teams are run by current students who have an enthusiasm for their sport, so they may vary each year - and you are always welcome to set up a new team! The following list gives examples of some of the sports in which the College has recently fielded a team, often participating in inter-college leagues and/or knock-out competitions (known as 'Cuppers'). Contact details for some of the captains are available on the JCR Website.
The Amalgamated Club funds, collected as part of the College fees of all junior members of the Hall, provide small amounts of money for College clubs and societies for the purchase of equipment or to meet expenses for their approved non-academic activities.
You can find further information about clubs and societies on the University website.
There is also the Oxford University Newcomers’ Club, designed to provide a meeting point for partners of newly arrived graduate students and staff, which organises coffee mornings, tours of Oxford colleges, visits to museums, and coach trips to places of interest in the surrounding area, as well as various special interest groups.
