We’ll be finding out from our traders what they love most about the market, and we’d love to hear from you too
The annual Love Your Local Market campaign is here from 15th to 30th May 2026. We’re excited to be joining markets across the country to celebrate everything that makes local markets special.
When it comes to The Covered Market it’s all about artisan independent traders specialising in their passions. It’s about carefully selected fresh food and produce, unique gifts and fashion, friendly faces, personable new experiences and centuries of market history, all of course under one beautiful roof in the heart of Oxford.
Throughout LYLM26 we’re asking our traders what they love about being part of The Covered Market, and sharing our findings on our Facebook and Instagram pages. We hope you’ll enjoy getting to know our traders even better.
We’d love to hear from you too. What makes the Covered Market special for you? Maybe it’s a favourite lunch spot, a go-to gift shop, a weekly tradition, or a memory from over the years.
You can let us know by commenting on our Love Your Local Market social media posts on Facebook and Instagram, or better still take a photo or video during your visit and tag @oxfordcoveredmarket. We’ll do our best to share as many as we can.
Let’s come together and let the world know how great local markets are! Remember to add #LYLM26 too!
