So between the DIY and Easter Sunday lunch, there is plenty to keep you and the family entertained this weekend. Oxford has a great independent scene, so if you just fancy a leisurely shopping trip and lunch, check out our Independent Oxford directory for a whole host of awesome indies to support this Easter weekend. We now even have an Independent Oxford Map to help you plan your indie adventures. Supporting local just got even easier!

Happy Easter!

I’m really passionate about Independent Oxford and supporting and promoting independent businesses in Oxfordshire. Indie businesses are the life blood of our towns, cities and communities, but they need support to survive and thrive. Creating a network that provides a space for indies to find peer support, knowledge and information is so important, and means businesses are far more likely to continue. Supporting indies means a stronger local economy and a closer, inclusive community for all.
