Christmas Shopping Fayre
Friday 27 November – Sunday 29 November 2026
Westpoint, Devon County Showground, Clyst St Mary, Devon(EX5 1DJ)
Now in its 30th year, the Christmas Shopping Fayre fills the halls at Westpoint, the Devon County Showground at Clyst St Mary, Exeter, for three days of festive shopping, and, by its own account, ranks among the UK's biggest of its kind. More than 250 stallholders take part each year, from across the UK and further afield, and a good number have been coming for over two decades. Browse makers' own crafts, art, clothing, homeware and gifts imported from distant countries, then try free samples in the speciality food and drink section and fill the larder for Christmas. Music, entertainers and live demonstrations keep things lively, and you can come in festive fancy dress for the chance of a prize. Children go free, Santa's Grotto costs nothing, and neither does parking.
