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.

Whether you’re a passionate reader, an aspiring writer, a publishing professional, or simply curious to explore something new, this day offers a welcoming atmosphere where independent voices take centre stage. Join us, and discover your next favourite book, author, or publisher!

There will be talks throughout the day, as well as a book launch slam, and a poetry slam, together with The Oxford Poetry Circle.
