Hit refresh this May half-term
Ah, May - the month of al fresco dinner dates, sunny nature walks, iced coffee catch-ups, feel-good film screenings, wedding wow-tfit planning and all-out newness is finally here. From breakfast ‘til bedtime, here are four things you can do to hit refresh with the fam this May half-term at Oxford Castle Quarter.
Wake up and smell the coffee
Fresh almond croissants, moorish chocolate brownies and white chocolate and raspberry loaf cakes, served with a piping hot latte and topped with hot froth and chocolate shavings. That’s what Spring looks like at Jericho. Who would want to miss that? Come on down this half-term!
A night off from the kids
Plan a daring Prison Break this half-term at Malmaison Oxford. Make your night off one to remember with the ultimate staycation in a stylish former prison cell… yes we’re serious! Enjoy a two course dinner and a well-earned night behind bars. In the morning, tuck into breakfast on the house.. or cell? Before heading off on a guided tour of Oxford Castle & Prison.
From lunch date to let’s celebrate!
Celebrate 40 years of Slug and Lettuce by booking a sit-down dinner with the family or a clink-worthy catch-up with the girls this half-term. Better yet, bring along the little ones - kids eat free! Whether you’re just clinking and picking, popping by after work or planning a romantic dinner for two, there’s a deal for every occasion.
It’s tour time.
Step inside over 1,000 years of history in just a few hours at Oxford Castle & Prison. Climb the 11th-century St. George’s Tower where Empress Matilda made her daring escape and gaze upon the historic city views, descend into the 900-year-old crypt where Brother Bernard resides (see if you can spot him), and stroll up the original Norman motte and bailey mound where atop you can enjoy a picnic in the sun. Education and excitement await at Oxford Castle & Prison. We’ll meet you there!
