The annual competition aims to boost the profile of village stores and has two categories – community owned and independently owned. Shoppers nominate stores and the council compiles a shortlist of entrants, which are then visited by the judges. The winner of the community owned category was Ewelme Village Store with Wootton Stores (near Woodstock) in second place. |
| Radley Village Shop opened in May 2007 and is a community co-operative run by volunteers and a paid manager. Its aim is to offer a range of basic essentials but with an emphasis on higher quality and local produce wherever possible. See the shop’s website for details of opening times, etc. |
