ATTRACTIONS across West Oxfordshire will throw open their doors to give free or discounted entry to the district’s residents next week.
West Oxfordshire Week, running from Monday, September 13, to Sunday, September 19, gives people the chance to try something new.
Vouchers have been posted to every household in the district. The offers include a free wilderness taster day at Cornbury Park, two for one entry on themed tours at Blenheim Palace, two for one entry to Rousham House gardens, discounted entry to Heythrop Zoological Gardens and guided tours of Burford and Charlbury.
Richard Langridge, West Oxfordshire District Council’s cabinet member for the local economy and communities, said: “Tourism is a major industry in west Oxfordshire, `bringing £232m into the local economy each year.
“There’s a lot to see on our doorsteps and the Wow Week, with its discount offers, is an excellent opportunity to do this.
“This year there are many new offers and I’d like to thank the tourism industry for its support.”
