Vibrant city steeped in history

Oxford, with its peaceful meadows, is a historic and bustling city that is easy to explore and a wonderful location for a school music tour. The centuries-old colleges lie mainly in the heart of the city and groups can step inside the atmospheric courtyards and gardens, in the footsteps of past scholars who studied here. Don’t miss out on Evensong at Christ Church Cathedral and punting on the River Isis.

We have drawn up a comprehensive step-by-step Guide to planning a school music tour for first time tourers. This covers all aspects of tour planning from budgeting and fundraising, to choosing the right destination, accommodation and performing venues for your ensemble. Click here to read our Guide.

We understand that school music tours are considered as a reward or holiday for many groups and that where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for young music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms are normally multi-bedded for students and twins, sometimes singles, for adults. Generally, rooms are en-suite.

The most pleasant times of year to come to Europe are May to September, therefore you may wish to consider this when planning your tour. Summer temperatures across Europe range from 18-35 degrees Celsius. European cities in winter can also offer many interesting cultural experiences that you may enjoy.
