A large indoor Christmas shopping show at Westpoint near Exeter, with more than 250 stallholders, free parking and a free Santa's grotto.

The Christmas Shopping Fayre fills the Westpoint exhibition centre on the edge of Exeter for three days, and 2026 is its 30th year. The organisers say more than 250 traders take part, many of whom have been coming for 20 years or more, selling gifts, handmade items and Christmas essentials.

Because it is entirely indoors, it is a weatherproof alternative to Devon's outdoor markets. There is a free Santa's grotto, and parking is free.

Admission is charged: tickets can be bought online in advance or on the door (cash only on the day). Dogs other than assistance dogs are not allowed in the main hall.
