ABOUT
A family bookshop, events and activity space in East Oxford with great books for all ages, interesting workshops and creative activities, author events, and more.

Oxford has a proud tradition of great bookshops, and at Caper we’re excited to bring a brand new one to the east of the city, where we haven’t had a bookshop for many years. We believe that the power of narrative changes the world. That the stories we tell (and the books we read) feed minds, inspire change and (sometimes) move mountains.
– Xander Cansell, Owner
Caper book store on the Magdalen Road is a great addition to the Magdalen Road Quarter neighbourhood. A fun and welcoming place for the whole family and the fastest turnaround when ordering a book that is currently not in stock!
– Elisabeth Humphries, Owner at Lofgrens Nordic Style


Caper is one of the newest additions to the Magdalen road and truly welcomed. A children focused bookshop and events space that also has a fantastic selection of books for adults (don’t miss the cookbook section). Be sure to keep an eye on its events page as well, as they always have something interesting on.
– Leo Johnson, Co-Founder at Dodo Pub Co
Caper offers an impressive selection of children’s books, in a visually striking environment that makes every visit an exciting new experience. Its wide range of interactive family events and creative activities for kids is all magically located behind the doors of its Narnia-inspired wardrobe. Pure joy!
