Host the hottest Christmas party in Oxford

Seasonal festivities mean only one thing – it’s time to indulge, darling! Feast on an exquisite two or three-course Christmas menu at Victors, with dishes such as tender rib-eye steak and apple tatin with cinnamon custard sure to set your mouth watering. Dine in their stunning restaurant or get cosy in their winter igloo pods and toast the season with a St. Nick Spritz or Gingerbread Martini. If it’s sophisticated liqueurs and Christmas chemistry you’re after, sip in style at The Alchemist, or if you’re after a crowd-pleaser, get juicy burgers for the brood at The Beefy Boys.

But no great Christmas party in Oxford is complete without some friendly competition. Test your aim at Flight Club, defend your wickets at Sixes or put your wits to the test in one of the fiendishly tricky escape rooms at Escape Hunt. Whether it’s family contests or office dos, there’s plenty of fun to be had.

DON'T MISS A THING THIS CHRISTMAS

Flock to the movies

Settle in for a season of unforgettable cinema at Curzon. Experience the magic of Wicked: For Good, lose yourself once again in Pandora’s breathtaking beauty in Avatar: Fire and Ash, and laugh (or sob) your way through Toy Story 5. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, Zootropolis 2 bursts onto the scene on 28th November – ready to whisk you off on another adventure with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. It’s blockbuster season, darling, and we’ve saved you the best seat in the house.

Sleigh your Oxford Christmas shopping

Don’t get yourself in a flap this year – we’ve got all your Oxford Christmas shopping wrapped up. Add some sparkle to your festive looks with wintery charms from Pandora or a touch of sophistication to your festive nightwear with the River Island x Nephthys Illustrated collection. We’ve also got all the freshest styles in at family favourites like MANGO, ZARA and Uniqlo, so there will be something under the tree for every fashionista.

For those in your brood who are toy-obsessed, look no further than Miniso, but if board games or a good Christmas read are more your speed, head straight to Blackwells. We all nest in winter, but some of us do it with a pinch more luxury, darling. Fragrances and homeware at Rituals will have you relaxing in splendour all season long. Also, if you’re overloaded with bags, don’t forget our PLUS+ Conceirge Service! We can take care of the heavy lifting so you can shop shop shop.
