Art & Craft Winter Festival 2026– A Celebration of Local Art and Handcrafted Gifts
West Ox Arts is delighted to announce the launch of its Winter Festival Show, opening on Saturday 7 November 2026 and running for six weeks at the WOA gallery in Bampton’s historic Market Square.
This much-anticipated seasonal exhibition invites art lovers, craft enthusiasts, and Christmas shoppers alike to explore an inspiring showcase of creativity from across the region. Featuring the work of over 50 artists and artisans, visitors can expect a vibrant mix of paintings, sculpture, glass, jewellery, ceramics, watercolours, textiles, and woodcraft, all beautifully curated to capture the magic of the festive season.
The Winter Festival Show offers the perfect opportunity to discover distinctive, handmade gifts and to support the talented artists within the West Oxfordshire community. With something for every taste and budget, it’s an ideal destination for thoughtful, one-of-a-kind Christmas shopping.
Throughout the exhibition, WOA artists will also be sitting in the gallery, offering visitors a chance to meet them and learn more about their creative process.
“The Winter Festival Show is so much more than an exhibition—it is a warm, festive gathering that brings people together to appreciate the sheer beauty of handcrafted art,”shares Kay Adamson, Chair of West Ox Arts, in celebration of the community’s exceptional talent.
We invite you to gather your friends and family and join us for this celebration of creativity and community. Entry is entirely free, and our doors are open to everyone.
