St Thomas winter market returns for its second year on Saturday 19 November at St Thomas Church.
The community-run event combines artisan traders with music, entertainment and workshops to create a family-friendly festival atmosphere.
Stalls will present the work of more than 50 artists and makers with hot food, drinks and a licensed bar spread throughout the Cowick Street churchyard and buildings.
Items for sale will include hand-made jewellery, beeswax candles, pottery and prints.
Exeter Brewery will provide beer and The Off Road Cafe coffee, hot chocolate and cakes. Other food will include waffles, burgers, paella, shawarma and tagine.
Entertainment will be provided by Taiko South West, Drag Queen Story Hour and Global Harmony Choir, and artist Steve McCracken and Co Create will run a woodwork workshop.

Organised by a team of local volunteers, the first St Thomas winter market took place in November last year.
The event was funded by small grants from Exeter City Council and Devon County Council and sponsored by local firms.
This year £500 was raised to help cover costs via a crowdfunder.
St Thomas winter market takes place at 12-4pm on Saturday 19 November 2022 at St Thomas Church, Cowick Street.
