My daughter is going to her first festival in the summer, Truck Festival near Oxford. As we have to take her and a friend there and we're not overly happy being so far away from her so we are going to have a weekend in Oxford in late July so we can be on hand if needed.
Been before, just once many years ago for a work meeting and jolly at the Four Pillars hotel (Oxford Spires). May well book up to stay there again.
We will have our 14 year old son with us so will be looking for things to do Sat/.Sun.Any ideas? (apart from wandering around pretending to be Inspector Morse)

Don't miss the Headington Shark!
It depends what your son is interested in really.
OK thanks @randella she's only 16! (going on 20)
Failing that, dress up as a 'town' or 'gown' type, goad the others and see how long it takes you to end up in the JR...
As for Oxford, even if you're not a fan of Morse there are some cracking pubs which appeared regularly in the series - the Eagle and Child (aka the Bird and Baby) on St. Giles, the King's Arms at the top of the Broad. They'll probably be thronged in July mind - I grew up in Oxfordshire and I can't believe how busy the town's got.
My personal favourite was a place slightly out west of the city, at the top of Port Meadow on the Thames in a village called Godstow, called the Trout Inn. I think the grub's a mixed bag so I won't recommend it, but there's a reason they always filmed there as the beer garden has to be about one of the nicest in the county for a sundowner.
Last time we mooched about the covered market ( which is interesting as these things go) and ate pasteis de nata in a cafe there. Quite a lot of time was taken up trying to find a useable public loo though We stayed at the Oxford camp site which is small and very hidden. Handily across the road from a park and ride. I'm sure it's no Four Pillars but if you wanted to join in the festival spirit...
