10 Indie Events In Oxford This January
Happy New Year! We’re very much looking forward to a time when we can meet up with friends in our favourite local indie cafes, restaurants and pubs, and seeing Oxford fully open and buzzing once again. However, until then, we will need to keep on with the virtual meet ups, events and workshops. Indies across Oxfordshire have once again adapted to Tier 4 restrictions and are offering a whole host of activities online to help us get through the dark days of January. We are focussing on health and wellbeing this month, and have created a list of inspiring ideas that have caught our eye, to help nourish mind and body, and support our local indie community too. >>
