Christmas Market

St Luke's Church Hall is hosting a Christmas Market on Wednesday 25 November, from 5.00 to 7.00pm. It's a mid-week evening slot, so it works as a stop-off on the way home from work rather than a full-day outing. The hall is at St Luke's Church on Canning Crescent in Oxford, OX1 4XB.

Inside you'll find a variety of stalls, the kind of mix that makes these local markets worth the trip. It's a Christmas market in the traditional sense: a collection of different tables and stands under one roof, with a range of things to look through and buy. Because it's a variety of stalls rather than one big shop, you can wander from one to the next and see what's there, and the mid-week timing means you're not fighting the Saturday crowds.

If you're thinking of taking a stall yourself, it's a low bar to get involved: a stall costs £5. That makes it an easy one for local makers, crafters, or anyone with a hobby they'd like to show off without committing to a huge investment. It's as much about having a table to put your things on as it is about the selling.

So, if you're in the mood for a bit of early Christmas shopping, or you've got something you'd like to sell, keep it in mind. The market runs from 5.00 to 7.00pm on Wednesday 25 November at St Luke's Church Hall, Canning Crescent, OX1 4XB, and stalls are £5.
