Oxford
by Night: The Pub Tour
The
Pubs of Oxford tour is organised by Guild of Guide and
long
term CAMRA member Rob Walters. In a varied route it covers a selection
of the
central pubs of Oxford, some old some new, some dead, some thriving.
Through a
lively discourse you will hear about the history of the pubs, some of
the odd events
that have taken place in them over the years, and their real and
spiritual
visitors. We do
enter some of the pubs so you can purchase real ale,
inspect
the toilets, etc. At the end of the tour there is the pub quiz to beat
all pub
quizzes - a quiz on the pubs of Oxford! Beautiful place, historic city,
fascinating lanes and alleys, and of course a fine selection of ancient
and modern pubs each with a story to tell and something good to sell.
The pub tour of Oxford is an experience never to be forgotten,
it’s something to tell your friends about and something that
can be traced and retraced.
The tour is not a pub crawl – well not exactly. It is
educational, you get a glimpse of history and a chance to enjoy the
evening life of a city that is known throughout the world. At the same
time you get to go into a selection of pubs with a group that want the
same from life as you do – enlightenment, alcoholic
refreshment and atmosphere.
