The Leys Community Market is a vibrant monthly market held on the last Saturday of each month at The Barn, Nightingale Avenue in Oxford, typically running from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. The market is a local initiative aimed at bringing together the community, supporting local producers, and offering residents a convenient place to buy fresh, high-quality goods.
One of the key highlights of the market is its emphasis on community involvement. It provides a space for local entrepreneurs, small businesses, and residents to sell their products in a friendly and supportive environment. The market also fosters social interaction, with local residents and visitors gathering to chat, enjoy food, and shop from local suppliers.
The market is a wonderful reflection of Oxford’s thriving local culture and commitment to sustainability, supporting the “buy local” movement while providing a welcoming space for people to come together. It’s particularly popular with families and those looking for unique, handmade products that you won’t find in large stores
