Bookshop Description
Caper is an independent family bookshop, activity and community event space in East Oxford. We have wonderful range of books for children, a curated selection of great books for grown-ups and a number of interesting and beautiful cookbooks. We also offer storytime, art, music and cookery workshops for children, author visits and regular book talks in the evenings. The books we have in stock change from week to week – and to encourage good browsing they are grouped into small, interesting categories, rather than by genre or author name – so there is always something new to discover.
Opening hours
Mon - Sat 9am–5pm, Sun 10-4
