The East Oxford Farmers’ & Community Market is a welcoming, volunteer-run hub for fresh, local produce and sustainable living. Held every Saturday from 10am to 1pm at East Oxford Primary School, it brings together farmers, bakers, cheesemakers, and artisans from within 30 miles of the city. Shoppers can find seasonal fruit and vegetables, organic meats, free-range eggs, handcrafted breads, cheeses, and refill stations for dried goods and eco-friendly cleaning products. Alongside food, stalls offer antiques, jewellery, clothing, and second-hand books, creating a lively mix of essentials and curiosities. A popular café serves breakfasts, lunches, cakes, and fair-trade coffee, making it a social as well as a shopping destination. Founded in 2006 with just six stalls, the market has grown into a cherished community institution, committed to supporting local producers, reducing environmental impact, and fostering connections between neighbours in a friendly, accessible setting.
