We are delighted to announce we have not one, but two bands. Walter Shortage and The Hosepipe Banned will be kicking things off in the early part of the evening, followed by covers band, Guesswork, who will be playing till late. In between, there will be a fancy dress contest so all you youngsters out there – start planning your costume now!

Opening the Fayre will be civil war re-enactment group Lord Hopton’s Regiment of The English Civil War Society, who will perform a musket volley and then mingle with the crowds afterwards.
All the usual attractions and sideshows will be around the square.
We have been very lucky in that this year, a number of local businesses have very generously sponsored the event, which means even more money can go to charity and local good causes.

This year our nominated charity is the Exeter Leukaemia Fund, which supports the work of the Haemotology Department at Exeter’s RD & E Hospital and works to relieve sickness amongst people suffering from leukaemia and related diseases in Devon and surrounding areas. They will be bringing with them an opportunity to win a car. That’s right, I said a car!!!
A silver Renault Clio Campus filled with coloured balls will be coming along to the Fayre. If you guess the correct amount of balls, you win the car! It costs just £1 to have a go and proceeds will go directly to ELF.
Let’s hope for a huge turnout, good weather and a fantastic time. See you there!
