After the success of our first Book Market last year, we can’t wait to welcome all the book-lovers in the region to a day of bookish delights.
With a range of bookshops from across Devon bringing their finest selections of goodies, local food & drink vendors to keep you fuelled, and a range of brilliant bookish activities on offer throughout the day, it’s sure to be a fun day out for everyone!
Sunday 20 November will be your one-stop Christmas shopping day, filled with market magic! With the Festive Fore Street Flea and Exeter Cathedral Christmas Market both up and running, it’s the perfect opportunity to get well and truly festive.
