The August market will offer local produce from Shillingford Organics and Sharpham Cheese, baked goods from The Sidwell Street Bakehouse and Fika Exeter, meats from West Town Farm and Little Mead Meats and fish from Greendale Farm Shop.

Local beer, herbal tea, chutneys and honey as well as artisan soap, flowers, plants and wooden bowls will all also be on sale.
