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
