Oxford Ceramics Fair

Over more than 25 years Oxford Ceramics Fair has grown to be one of the UK’s most cherished events, with a highly curated selection of some of the UK’s finest makers, balancing new talent and well-known names in a simple and uncomplicated format to a discerning audience. As usual we will feature a programme of talks and demos alongside the main exhibition.

One major change for 2024 is we are moving back into the main school buildings for the first time since 2018, but this time into the newly built Christie Centre and surrounding buildings.

To avoid overcrowding, tickets are issued for before 1pm and after 1pm. Once inside, you may stay as long as you like.

As always, UNDER 16s go free and do not need a ticket.

Saturday morning now sold out

Date Posted: 22 Oct

We are at capacity for Saturday morning. Tickets are still available for all other slots.

"Can I still get in if I don't have a ticket?"

The answer is only maybe as it's entirely dependent on capacity. If the event is full you will have to wait until it empties out a bit and we will always prioritise advance ticket holders.

The busiest time is Saturday morning from 10am to 12pm. If you come after that you'll have a better chance of quick entry, but a much better option is to buy a ticket for the afternoon slot or better still come on Sunday which is slightly quieter. This will guarantee you entry without a wait.

Makers bring enough stock to last the whole weekend; do not believe the fallacy that they will run out or they will be nothing "decent" left.

Saturday morning tickets running low

Date Posted: 18 Oct

Just a few tickets remain for Saturday morning which is our most popular slot.

Online ticket buyers are guaranteed entry without waiting; if you're buying on the door it's dependent on capacity and we recommend arriving after 12 noon on Saturday to be sure of entry. There may be a wait if the event is at capacity so we always recommend buying online.
