Fore Street Flea market to return

Four dates set for this year

InExeter has announced the return of the Fore Street Flea, which is scheduled for Sunday 12th May 2024. It will take place in the heart of Exeter's West Quarter, the community event promises a day of excitement, discovery, and celebration.

Originating in 2016 as a grassroots initiative by local businesses along Fore Street, the Fore Street Flea has since become a cherished tradition in Exeter. Now organised by InExeter as the Business Improvement District for Exeter, this event continues to thrive, supporting local businesses and nurturing a vibrant community spirit.

The Fore Street Flea has four dates set for 2024: 

Sunday 12th May
Sunday 14th July
Sunday 15th September
Sunday 17th November

This market has earned a reputation as a haven for bargain hunters, offering a diverse array of one-of-a-kind treasures and local gems. From vintage fashion to handmade crafts, collectables, sweet treats and more, there's something for everyone at this bustling street market.

In addition to the vibrant market atmosphere, attendees can enjoy live music provided by the Music In Devon Initiative through the MIDI Stages project which will be situated outside The Music Depot. This initiative is in partnership with InExeter and has been made possible through Youth Music's Trailblazer fund and empowers young musicians in Devon by offering them performance opportunities and a platform to gain valuable experience.

Nicola Wheeler, CEO at InExeter, expressed her excitement for the return of the Fore Street Flea: “We're geared up for the 2024 comeback of The Fore Street Flea, a fantastic community event initiated by local businesses. As the business improvement district, we take pride in organising this market, blending our local businesses with market traders and artists. Each flea market offers a unique experience—expect the unexpected! It's a delightful surprise every time."

Join InExeter from 12-4 pm on Sunday 12th May for a day of treasure hunting, exploring stalls, and uncovering hidden gems at the Fore Street Flea. From pre-loved trinkets to vintage finds, second-hand bargains, and handcrafted delights, there's something for everyone to discover and enjoy.
