OFFER 1: The school holidays are here, and finding something for the kids to do can quickly become a headache, especially if you don’t want to spend a fortune. But don’t just sit there! It’s time to do something about it and enter our competition to win two months of free family membership to leisure and sports centres around Oxford.
Oxford City Council and sports and leisure group Fusion have teamed up with Friday Life to offer one lucky reader and their family the chance enjoy a wonderful summer of fun and healthy activities – and all without breaking the bank.
Fancy a splash of water to cool off on a hot day? Winners will be able to go swimming at Hinksey Heated outdoor pool, or use any of the indoor pools at Ferry Leisure Centre, Barton Leisure Centre, Blackbird Leys Pool or Temple Cowley Pools.
Or for those of you who want to tone-up or just fancy an invigorating workout, win this fantastic prize and you can now treat yourself and your family to more than 200 free exercise classes happening each week in the city’s sports centres.
Also included in this unbeatable sporting package is free ice skating at the Oxford Ice Rink, so you can cool off afterwards from the summer heat. So dig out your shorts, dust off your trainers and get active with a family membership at some of Oxford’s best sporting venues, completely free for eight whole weeks.
OFFER 2: Oxford Bus Company has been at the heart of life in the city for over 130 years and as the summer holidays get underway a cityzone pass is the best way of getting around Greater Oxford.
It covers an area from Kidlington in the north, Kennington, Garsington and Blackbird Leys in the south, Botley to the west and Wheatley to the east.
Even if you have a family car it makes sense to leave it at home and catch an OBC bus and let someone else have all the worries about parking! On many of the routes there’s a bus up to every ten minutes.
OBC has one of the greenest bus fleets in the UK so your journeys will be green too. Many of the buses are the latest environmentally friendly electric hybrid vehicles A cityzone pass is one of the bargains of the summer! It can work out as little as £1.60 a day. For families who want to day out by bus every now and again a one day Family Pass can cost as little as £8 and, on OBC’s Park and Ride buses, two fare paying adult passengers can take up to three children with them free of charge.
Whatever the weather travelling on Oxford Bus services this summer is the really cool thing to do!
And guess what? Friday Life has teamed up with Oxford Bus Company to offer one lucky reader the chance to win free travel on any Oxford Bus or Thames Travel service for FOUR weeks for a family of four (two adults, two children) in the cityzone area that covers Greater Oxford. Just to help you get to those summer holiday activities and must-dos.
OFFER 3: With the summer holidays in full swing, what better way to help your children expend their seemingly limitless energy levels than by putting them on the stage.
But not any old stage - no, the Pullman Stage at the Pegasus Theatre in Magdalen Road, East Oxford, named after the venue’s major supporter and patron Philip Pullman.
And if that weren’t enough, this summer, Grease IS the word!
Yes, this is a chance for 12-19 year olds to make one of the most popular and best loved musical shows of stage and screen.
SJB productions have been hosting musical theatre weeks at Pegasus for many years. Previous productions for 12-19 year olds have included Wonka the Musical and Hairspray.
During the week participants will be immersed in dance, drama and music, all to create an all-singing, all dancing musical show on Pegasus’ main Pullman Stage for families and friends to share.
Musical Theatre Week runs from Monday 5 to Friday 9 August from 10am to 4pm daily.
And believe it or not, Friday Life has teamed up with Pegasus to offer three lucky readers the chance to win one of three places for their children on this course.
