Cycle along the River
If it's a nice day, there is nothing better than getting out on your bike and cycling along the river. Maybe you could even take a picnic and really impress the one you love!

Go Ice Skating
Whether you're the next Torvill or Dean or like Bambi on ice, get down to the Oxford Ice Rink for some ice skating madness! The rink is 10 minutes walk from Oxford Train Station and offers public skating sessions, skating lessons, parties and you can even join the Oxford Stars Ice Hockey team if you're feeling really energetic. Have a look at the Oxford Ice Rink website for session times, prices and any other info you could possibly need.

Visit you Local Park
There is so much going on in Oxford's parks so check out locations, facilities and events going on near you.
Take a Dance Class
You will be amazed at the number of dance classes for young people going on in the city. Have a look at our dance class listings for a full list of classes and how to get involved. You've seen Mark Ramprakash and Emma Bunton do it, so get out there and give it a go yourself.
Oxfordshire's Creepy Past
Take an interactive look at Oxford's grisly and murky past on Oxfordshire's Dark Archivist website. You can search for sinister crimes which took place hundreds of years ago, look for old remedies and read up on crimes as they might have been written up by journalists today.
Murders in Banbury, riots in Oxford, ghosts in Woodstock, beetle-eating professors in the university, sailors framed in Abingdon and vicars with a very good reason to keep people out of their bedroom in Henley are all meat and drink to the Dark Archivist.
What I do when I'm out of school

Hello my name is Ben Khan. I am going to be telling you about what I do out of school and how i enjoy myself. On the weekends I go swimming and have lots of fun with my friends. On school days I go home and read books and do my homework. I also like to play football. I play for Oxford City Colts under 15 which are the best team in Oxford. That's about all I wanted to say - not much more to say.
