Campaign to save The Wheatsheaf âlong way from victoryâ
MUSIC lovers are celebrating after plans to turn Oxford city centre’s last real gig venue into flats were withdrawn. But they say their campaign to save The Wheatsheaf, off High Street, is a ‘long way from victory’ – with fears it may never reopen.

Its owners had submitted plans to Oxford City Council to turn the first-floor venue into nine student flats, a shared kitchen area and common areas. But in an unexpected change, the application was withdrawn following concerns from council officers who are thought to have been recommending refusal on the grounds of the loss of a community facility, the poor quality of accommodation proposed, harm to a local heritage asset and inadequate consideration of refuse storage.

Musicians and stand-up comedians from Oxford, the county and beyond, pleaded with the council to oppose plans which would see the closure of the city centre’s last real gig venue. Owners of The Wheatsheaf, which is just off High Street, wanted to close its first-floor concert venue for good and convert it into nine student flats, a shared kitchen area, and common areas. But in an unexpected change of heart today, those plans have now been withdrawn.
