Weekend excursions

We realise that classes are only a part of your language learning. While you are here, we want you to have fun, relax, make friends from all over the world and improve your English at the same time.

As well as the social, cultural and sporting activities that are included on your course, we also offer weekend excursions for you to join, at additional cost. These include full-day visits to places of interest, such as London, Bath, Windsor, Stonehenge and Salisbury, or long weekends in Scotland or Paris.

Our friendly, experienced social organiser arranges and guides the tours. He can also give you lots of information about Oxford and other parts of Britain.

If there is something special you want to do, an interest that you'd like to continue or a sport you want to play, just ask and we can help you to find out information.
