We are stay in the area on a weeks holiday and I would like to visit any if not all craft shops, while I'm there. Hubby is going to some Airshows so I need my fix of craft. There are only so many planes a girl can look at. Thank you Dee xxx

They usually have a craft weekend in June but as the shop has changed hands, I am not sure if it is still going on. Where is the airshow? Sarah xxx

I found it when hubby went on a conference the year before last. I must admit I didn't find any in the centre of oxford, but that may have changed Hope you have a good trip Kate x

In Wantage there is stamp attic its part of the Arbrey Arcade. Wendy is very nice and will help you. there is also another one in Wallingford, I think it is in the Lamb arcade, haven't been there but have been told its okay. I don't know of any more than what has been mentioned above. you could try yell.com to find them. Paula.x

Millets Farm shop craft barn has changed hands and not that good when I went the other week. If you venture to Stratford on Avon there is Blue Moon.
