About Us

Hello, and welcome to Emmas at Oxford.  A unique Book, Gift and Clothing Store Store in Oxford, North Canterbury which is a short (and picturesque) 45 minute drive from Central Christchurch.

Emma’s at Oxford opened in June 2007 and has grown and evolved over the last 15 years into what you see today. 

The shop has gone from strength to strength since opening with a greatly expanded range from the initial offering becoming as some call it, “the best (not so) little book shop in Canterbury”. 

At Emmas you will find a lovely haven away from all the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the eclectic range of personally chosen books on offer.  The depth of our range often sees customers commenting "what an incredible selection of books! you never see these in other bookshops."   

Here on our website you will find a large selection of our most popular items and latest arrivals but if you can’t find exactly what you are after please drop us a line and ask as we may just have it or, something similar and we do enjoy the fun and challenge of shopping by text/messenger.  Here at Emmas we are here to help. 

 Please also follow us on Facebook as we are always posting news and new goodies on their too.

 Thank you for stopping buy and we look forward to helping you.
