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
