This time last week I was settling down for a cup of tea after another successful #OxfordInstameet. Starting at 10.30am at The Jam Factory, over 20 people joined us for a walk around the gorgeous streets of Oxford.

The day was once again put together by Natasha (@candypop.uk) and us (Anna – @independentoxford and @annamundayox and Rosie – @oxfordsrosie and @kinshipofoxford). What a good day it was!

It was a lovely opportunity to chat to familiar faces, meet new ones and get to know those we’ve been following on Instagram. Some were first timers on their own, others came in pairs or small groups and it is truly open to everyone – a love of taking photos and meeting friendly people is all that you need!

Take a look below at some of our favourite photos from the day…

I’m really passionate about Independent Oxford and supporting and promoting independent businesses in Oxfordshire. Indie businesses are the life blood of our towns, cities and communities, but they need support to survive and thrive. Creating a network that provides a space for indies to find peer support, knowledge and information is so important, and means businesses are far more likely to continue. Supporting indies means a stronger local economy and a closer, inclusive community for all.
