McCoys Arcade on Exeter’s Fore Street is transformed into a cave of treasure onthe first Saturday of every month. As locally grown artists and makers descend upon the Arcade with their beautiful and unique creations, local music will fill the air and workshops from surrounding traders will inspire you to use your hands.

Handmade Arcade is an alternative kind of craft fair, a home of independent art, a celebration of culture outside of the mainstream, and a place to find amongst other things a handpicked selection of contemporary crafts, screen-printed material, illustrations and hand bound books; all with a focus on small environmentally friendly production techniques and a DIY ethos. Bringing together a community of artists and makers, and providing the people of Exeter with a tasteful and affordable alternative to the blandness of High Street shopping.

Go along between 10am and 5pm to eat, drink, listen and browse, with refreshments and delicious home cooked food from McCoys Café and a host of unique shops and galleries to explore throughout this diverse area.
