Teddies Weekends

Lady Macbeth With two cinemas in Oxford, pupils will have every opportunity to catch up with Lady Macbeth , the latest film by Florence Pugh. Flossie, who left Teddies in 2014, stars in this award-winning adaptation of Nikolai Leskov’s novella Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk , on release from April 28th, rated 15. G&D’s Ice Cream Parlour G&D’s is an Oxford institution like no other and a great option for a sunny Sunday afternoon. The brainchild of an Oxford student who felt the city was crying out for a café offering high-quality ice cream with the chance of a hot drink and some top-notch food, G&D’s has been delighting students and residents for over 20 years. Randolph Hotel The location for the Tilly’s House Dinner in April, this landmark hotel in the heart of the city is as well-known for its elegant, eye-catching architecture as it is for its exceptional service and charm. Colin Dexter’s world-famous detective, Inspector Morse, was regularly to be seen at The Randolph, and it is a popular haunt for actors and politicians.

Culture Vultures Being located at the heart of a culturally sophisticated city has many benefits. In addition to the impressive shows at our very own North Wall Gallery, top exhibitions in Oxford this summer include: Degas to Picasso: Creating Modernism in France at the Ashmolean until 7th May; Photographs of Central Asia and the Middle East at the Pitt Rivers until 30th April; and a quirky show, Portraits from a Chip Shop , at Modern Art Oxford and The Old Fire Station from 2nd May – 2nd July. Holywell Music Room Coffee Concerts take place at the Holywell Music Room from 11.15am – 12.15pm every Sunday (a quick dash after Chapel … with HMs’ permission!). The spring season includes the Vertavo, Tippett, Heath and Piatti String Quartets, the Aquinas Piano Trio and the Adderbury Ensemble. More details at:
