2026 Summer Book Fair
The National Independent Publishing Event
Welcome to the Oxford Indie Book Fair (OXIB) — a vibrant celebration of independent publishing, bold storytelling, and creative community. OXIB brings together independent presses, authors, poets, illustrators, and readers for a day dedicated to discovering books you won’t find everywhere else. More than just a marketplace, OXIB is a meeting place — a space for conversation, collaboration, and inspiration. Visitors meet authors face-to-face, hear the stories behind the stories, attend talks and readings, and connect with a thriving community that champions creativity and originality all for free.
Join us on Sunday July 12, thanks to The Oxford Festival of the Arts, and discover your next favourite book in the ‘Big School – the main hall of Magdalen College School: entrance Cowley Place just off the Plain.
