Art & Craft Winter Festival
West Ox Arts Announces Festive Winter Festival Show – A Celebration of Local Art and Handcrafted Gifts
West Ox Arts is delighted to announce the launch of its Winter Festival Show, opening on Saturday 8 November 2025 and running for six weeks at the gallery in Bampton’s historic Market Square.
This much-anticipated seasonal exhibition invites art lovers, craft enthusiasts, and Christmas shoppers alike to explore an inspiring showcase of creativity from across the region. Featuring the work of over 40 artists and artisans, visitors can expect a vibrant mix of paintings, sculpture, glass, jewellery, ceramics, watercolours, textiles, and woodcraft, all beautifully curated to capture the magic of the festive season.
The Winter Festival Show offers the perfect opportunity to discover distinctive, handmade gifts and to support the talented artists within the West Oxfordshire community. With something for every taste and budget, it’s an ideal destination for thoughtful, one-of-a-kind Christmas shopping.
Throughout the exhibition, selected artists will also be working in the gallery, offering visitors a chance to meet them and learn more about their creative process.
“We’re so proud to celebrate the incredible talent within our community,” said Kay Adamson, Chair for West Ox Arts. “The Winter Festival Show is not just an exhibition — it’s a joyful, festive event that brings people together and celebrates the beauty of handmade arts and crafts.”
So mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and join us for a festive celebration of art, craftsmanship, and community. Entry is free, and all are welcome!
