Find us at:

St. John’s Church, The Broadway Kidlington

11am to 2pm, 7 December 2025

At Cherwell Collective, CIC , we understand that accessible environmentally friendly gifts and habits can be hard to reach during the holiday season. We are here to help!
You can look forward to:

Eco- Vendors : Local vendors who sell gift-worthy products sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. The vendors ALL use some form of recycled, upcycled, repaired, or sustainable material in their products to reduce waste and respect the planet. We offer these vendors a stall at our market without commission or fees; we love to support local artisans making a difference.

Gift Swap : Clean out your unwanted, but gift-worthy items from your home and exchange them for treasures of similar value. It’s a brilliant way to find special gifts for your loved ones while cutting down on waste. Feel free to bring any small, gift-appropriate items – clothes, accessories, books, homemade crafts, music, and more. If you don’t have anything to swap you can shop the selection with a minimum £4 donation.

Sustainable Food : Climatarian Kitchen will be serving delicious, traditional Christmas Market foods made from 100% surplus and locally-grown foods. This surplus perfect-condition food has been saved from landfill from supermarkets, restaurants, or suppliers who had excess stock that they were unable to use.

Live Music : Enjoy local musicians sharing collections of your favourite carols, tunes, and jingles of the holiday season.

Santa’s Grotto: A space where children can meet Father Christmas and have photos taken to raise funds for our winter warmers program.

Join us for these exciting events. Live. Learn. Eat. Grow.
