I don't think sending off a few exploratory e-mails would hurt
though, if only so we had a benchmark to compare Oxford's costs against.
I made enquiries about Manchester last year (for Wikimania '09) and I got the following quotes: Renold building - £34 (plus VAT) per person per day (including lunch); en-suite B&B accommodation £38.50 (plus VAT) pp pd (in university halls). University Place [1] is similarly priced (however, accommodation may not be available on-or-adjacent-to site).
I'm also a postgrad student at the University of Manchester, and am more than willing to make further investigations. I've also attended all four Wikimanias so far, so I have some understanding of what is required.
Cheers,
