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.

The entrance doors to the unit are visible to the right.NewsNew yoga, Pilates and barre studio opens in Botley

A group of eight people stand together on a lawn in front of a dense green hedge, smiling at the camera. The group is casually dressed in a mix of jackets, fleeces and jeans. One woman in the centre wears a purple patterned jacket and has bright red hair; another woman to her right has short silver hair and a green jacket. Two men wear wide-brimmed hats. The setting appears to be a garden in an overcast daylight.NewsCowley Road Carnival comeback: fundraising drive for focused 2026 event to help pave the way for full return in 2027
