As indie businesses get up to speed with the latest coronavirus guidelines, they are still innovating, experimenting and finding ways to support their communities. Faced with a long six months of new measures, indies will provide the glimmers of normality, hope and joy on chilly autumn days. We are constantly amazed by the tenacity and resilience of the independent businesses in Oxfordshire, and coming up with creative events and things to do, is just one way they are helping us, their supporters, enjoy the simple, local pleasures. From films and books, to wellbeing and fitness, there are a whole host of events this October to keep you happy and healthy. >>
