Indie Events in Oxford: May 2025
Summer, is that you?!
This sunshine has been an absolute dream, and I’m hoping for a lot more of it. If it was not obvious enough, I am very excited for summer.
Let’s take a look at what is going on in Oxfordshire this May. >>

Cranston Pickles Workshop at The Market Tap
Ready to get pickling?
This Cranston Pickles workshop, hosted by Fiona, will be focused on vinegar-based pickles. You will learn about the pickling process and develop both your knowledge and confidence to pickle at home as much as you want.
