The July 2024 event was amazing, and it was so nice to see all the exhibitors and visitors having a great time. A massive thankyou to EVERYONE that came along, to the sponsors, patrons and organisers. And, of course to the Michelle Castelletti and Oxford Festival of the Arts for Hosting us.
A very very special thank-you to Shona and the Oxford Festival of the Arts volunteers who worked SO hard and made everything run so smoothly on the day – you made a HUGE difference!

If you’re thinking of using the busses then The Oxford Bus Company have kindly prepared a route planner that will help tou.
We offer the opportunity for new and established talent to showcase their work taking at our event in Oxford.
It seems to be increasingly difficult for all but the most ‘already-successful’ authors to be accepted by traditional publishers, and/or receive recognition and profile in our mainstream media. Indie book fairs are becoming established elsewhere and since Oxford is a major city of arts and letters and renowned for writing and publishing it is not before time that the ever-growing Indie sector is to have its voice.
