North Parade Market
A fortnightly farmers' and artisan market on North Parade Avenue — local producers, organic food, and a neighbourhood atmosphere.
North Parade Market has been running since October 2012 on the short stretch of North Parade Avenue between Woodstock Road and Banbury Road. It operates on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month from 10am, with local and organic producers selling fresh produce, baked goods, preserves, and handmade items.
The market is smaller and more focused than Gloucester Green — this is a neighbourhood event with a loyal local following. The North Parade strip also has several independent shops, cafes, and BREW coffee, making it a natural Saturday morning destination for North Oxford residents.
What to buy
Seasonal fruit and vegetables from local farms, artisan bread and pastries, cheese, charcuterie, honey, preserves, and handmade household goods. The stallholders are typically the producers themselves.
2026 dates
2nd and 4th Saturday each month: May 9 & 23, June 13 & 27, July 11 & 25, August 8 & 22.
Good to know
Outdoor market on a residential street. The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried. Arrive mid-morning for the full selection. North Parade Avenue is a short walk from Summertown or a 15-minute walk from the city centre via Banbury Road.
