Fore Street Flea market returns for a special Exeter Pride-themed event.
Leigh Curtis
Fore Street Flea market returns with an Exeter Pride-themed special event on Sunday 8 May 2022 from 12-4pm.
From last September to this March Fore Street Flea was part-funded by a European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) grant intended to help High Streets recover from the coronavirus pandemic.
The money was used for entertainment and road closure costs charged by the highways authority, Devon County Council.
Pitch fees now range from £15 for casual traders to £50 for street food vendors. Proceeds all go towards event running costs.
Exeter Observer is a new kind of news organisation. Independent, accountable and community-owned with a non-profit model that serves the public sphere.
Lots of our readers think Exeter needs the kind of local news we provide so they're backing us, not just with warm words but by chipping in.
Every penny we receive is spent on producing and publishing news, features and investigations and supporting our city's cultural and community life.
But it's not enough to keep us publishing. We need more people to contribute to our running costs so we can break even.
141 of the 300 paying subscribers we need have signed up to support our work from less than £2/week.
