Courses
Oxford Junior Rowing Course
Muddy says: Rowing isn't a sport that many kids get to try, but a great sport for fitness as well as building confidence, determination and resilience, and these courses by OJRC aim to deliver on all counts.
West Oxfordshire Academy of Performing Arts
Muddy says: An inclusive, friendly, go-the-extra-mile performing arts school for children and adults in Witney.
Be In Art
Muddy says: Super-relaxed, mindful art classes (where you don't need to be Picasso to participate) with a side-order of life coaching. Our kinda combo.
Oxford University Department for Continuing Education
Muddy says: It's never too late to learn a new skill or gain a fresh interest - and where best to harvest it than at Oxford University's Department of Continuing Education, available for all?
Alexandra Buckle Art
Muddy says: Whether you're looking to brush up your own artistic skills or invest in some lovely local landscape art, Bicester printmaker Alexandra Buckle is your woman.
Canapease
Muddy says: As someone who spends parties shamelessly hanging around the kitchen to get first dibs on the canapés, I've got a lot of love for these Chesham luxe nibble workshops.
Retreat for Mothers
Muddy says: Frazzled mothers rejoice! Come and hide out here and let someone look after you for a change.
The Writers’ Greenhouse
Muddy says: Planning on being the next Philip Pullman? These Oxford-based creative writing courses could be just the ticket.
TechPixies
Muddy says: Need to brush up your digital skills to boost your career? Oxford-based TechPixies have courses for that.
