Be a part of the BIGGEST Oxford Indie Book Fair EVER!

This is a shout out to all the subscribers who have expressed an interest in exhibiting at the next Oxford Indie Book Fair.

We're very excited indeed to officially announce that the next event will be on Sunday 1st December 2024. We're back at the GLORIOUS Oxford Examination Schools with our BIGGEST event EVER.
We've booked BOTH the huge halls there and have dedicated one of them as a "quiet zone" (though the term 'quiet' is relative of course!) for those who prefer to talk with their visitors. The other hall is where the stage is and where you'll find all the talks and lively buzz.
In between the two, we have the usual sitting and reading space where we hope to have some fun activates for kids at times - handy for the children's authors amongst you.

As promised, we're letting you have an opportunity to book your exhibitor passes before we open booking up to all and sundry.

Those on the list who have exhibited before, will have seen all this last week and had their advance booking opportunity but we'll still keep you in the loop in case there are any more that want to get in early.
Sorry to hear from the handful that can't make it this year -- we'll be back again in 2025, most likely for two events again.

Book your Exhiitor Pass

Use THE LINK BELOW to visit our website to book your exhibitor pass. This is the ONLY way you can book.

https://www.oxfordindiebookfair.co.uk/product/dec-1st-2024-exhibitor-pass/

Before you jump in, take a moment to read the instructions at the bottom of the booking page - there's even a video to show you how the process works.

The prices of the passes are: £55 for the large tables and £45 for the regular ones.

The process is VERY simple; just select the table you want, add to basket, go to the checkout, fill in your detials and pay. You can use your debit or credit card to pay, or PayPal if you wish.

At this stage, we're releasing the first 50% of the spaces. But don't worry, we've DOUBLED the size of the event again this year to a total of 144 tables!

Selling the tickets in stages helps people who are not so hot off the mark with their emails. So it's really important that you keep up to date with our mailshots if you are or are planning to be an exhibitor.

On Friday 11th October, the remainder of the passes will be released for all to book.

We're using our bespoke booking system which checks REALTIME whether someone else has booked the table that you're trying to select, so if the table turns GREY when you click on it that means someone's snapped it up already. You'll notice a second or two delay between clicking a table and the ADD TO CART button lighting up, that's the check taking place. Please be patient and wait for the orange button.

Once you've booked your table, you'll be automatically logged into your newly created exhibitor account, so why not start filling in your exhibitor profile which will appear on the website. There's instructions and a video on that too in the help pages.

If you want to use your existing account and exhibitor profile from last time, then use the same email address as before when booking your pass.

Everything you'll need as an exhibitor can be found under the "For Exhibitors" menu at the top of the website, PLEASE take some time to read this if you have any questions, you'll likely find the answer there or on the other help pages.

We'll be adding more information there as we go along, so it's wise to check back from time to time.

We have some marketing materials and social media graphics to download on the exhibitor centre, so please do take advantage of those and start letting people know about the book fair NOW, and keep on plugging it.

We're ploughing even more money into advertising this year - we don't make a profit, so it's all for the event but we DO need your support as well to let people know about the fair and what you'll be showing.

Good luck and thanks for waiting!

Andy, Sylvia, James, Shona, Ray and Felicity.
