May half term is set to be full of exciting family activities across Oxfordshire. Here’s the Red Kite Days guide to what’s on for kids in Oxfordshire and some great ideas for days out. From Banbury to Abingdon and Thame to Witney, we’ve got it covered! Stretch out a little further and there’s a great guide too for Berkshire and Buckinghamshire too.
