I’m really excited to take part in the Spring Market as it’s such a fun atmosphere at the Tap Room, and it’s great to meet other indie makers and chat to customers. The Christmas Market was the first time I’d be involved with Independed Oxford and they do such a great job of putting everything together. I love that people can have a mooch around with a coffee or a beer, meet the makers and support local businesses. – Sarah Hoyle
