Weekend excursions
Blenheim Palace
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, Warwick Castle and Stratford upon Avon, Stonehenge and Salisbury.
We will give you a programme of social activities and excursions when you arrive at the school. You can book the tours with our friendly, experienced social organiser who 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.
