  • From Atlantis to the Orient Express: Party Themes for 2015

One of the best things about spending the summer with Oxford Royale Summer Schools is our legendary parties.
With two parties per two-week session, there’s no shortage of opportunities to enjoy yourself in sumptuous surroundings that range from Kingston Bagpuize House to Yarnton Manor.
But what really makes a party is a great theme to bring it all together. Here are the themes that students aged 16-18 will have to look forward to this coming summer – and we’ll be following up with the themes for students aged 13-15 next week:
