Local cider, beer, herbal tea, coffee and chocolate as well as artisan soap, flowers and art prints will all also be on sale.

Food Exeter aims to change the local food system by tackling food poverty, food waste and unsustainable farming practices.
It became a charity in 2019 after establishing a network in 2014 to support local food-focussed projects and businesses.
Exeter Quayside Farmers’ Market takes place from 9am to 1pm on Saturday 20 December 2025.
It then continues every third Saturday of the month in the new year including 17 January, 21 February and 21 March 2026.
