Indie Oxford Spring Market: Mother’s Day Gift Inspiration
The Indie Oxford Spring Market pops up just in time for Mothering Sunday at Tap Social Movement’s Botley taproom on Saturday 9th March, from 10:30 am – 3 pm for a day celebrating brilliant local indie businesses. This collaborative effort between Independent Oxford and Tap Social Movement spotlights the diversity of local businesses and richness of community spirit.

With nine years of experience championing Oxfordshire’s independent scene, Independent Oxford is geared up once again to showcase the best the county has to offer. The exceptional lineup of stallholders includes such indies as Etta Rain Ceramics, LORDS Fragrance House, Jam Puppy Designs, Custom Made Jewellery, Sally-Anne Stewart Linocut Prints, Sitaarah Skincare, Abingdon Distillery, and more.
Attendees can expect diverse offerings that includes everything from jewellery, artwork, and prints to ceramics, natural skincare products, candles, accessories, and unique gifts perfect for Mother’s Day (Sunday 10th March).
In addition to the indie stalls, Little Letterbox Learning will provide an engaging craft corner for children aged 3 and up where they can enjoy making masks and bookmarks with proceeds going to Yellow Submarine.
Hosts Tap Social Movement will ensure a fun, friendly, and inclusive experience for all with a range of craft beer, curated wines and non-alcoholic beverages, hand-stretched sourdough Proof Pizza, and assorted fresh bakes from Proof Bakehouse.
Rosie, from Indie Oxford, expressed her enthusiasm, stating: “Independent Oxford exists to support and promote independent businesses in Oxfordshire, and the Indie Oxford Spring Market is a great way to showcase some of the brilliant businesses in the community. This is a market like no other, it’s fun, quirky, and there’s always a special community atmosphere which makes it a joy to be part of.”
Co-founder and director of Tap Social, Tess Taylor, added, “Tap Social has been a proud member of Independent Oxford from the beginning, and we always love collaborating with other like-minded local businesses at our venues. The Indie Oxford Market is one of my favourite taproom events.”
