What is OXIB?
The National Independent Publishing Event
Established 2020
There are 2 OXiB events for 2026 and they’re both FREE to visitors.
- Summer Book Fair
Sunday 12th – July 11am-4pm
Magdalen College School OX4 1DZ - Autumn Book Fair
Sunday 22nd November – 11am-4.30pm
Oxford Exams Schools OX1 4BG
Both fairs bring together the book-buying public and the burgeoning independent creative community of small publishers & presses, established and un-agented authors, poets, writing groups, and self-published writers. A meeting place as much as a marketplace, OXIB offers a superb space for conversation, collaboration, and inspiration. Visitors can meet authors face-to-face, attend talks and readings, and hear the stories behind the stories – all FOR FREE.
OXIB offers a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere where independent and alternative voices take centre stage.
Join us and discover your next favourite book.
