Welcome to the wantage.com community and business website. Wantage in Oxfordshire is a lovely small market town in the Vale of White Horse, and has a good range of shops and services, including plenty of places to eat and drink. Links with the past are very strong too and Wantage is a great place to visit to enjoy this historic part of England.

circle


Of particular note in the town are the Vale and Downland Museum in Church Street, Wantage, the 13th century parish church and the Market Square with its statue of King Alfred (born in Wantage in 849AD). The market is held every Saturday and Wednesday and is well worth a visit. If you are a walker, then try the ancient Ridgeway; it is only a couple of miles to the south.

You can find out what’s happening locally by reading the 2 free local publications “What’s On In Wantage” and “The Wantage & Grove Review” as well as the diary and forum on this website.

Businesses can be found in our Wantage Business Directory and various other organisations and services can be found using the menus on the left.
