With Britain basking in the sun, 77 years of national frustration, self-deprecation and scratching of heads finally melted away as Andy Murray beat Novak Djokovic to become the first British man to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.
In a display of immense strength, belief and resilience, as well as enormous skill, Murray defeated the gifted Serbian world number one in straight sets, 6-4 7-5 6-4. In their wildest dreams, few fans would have anticipated Murray not dropping a set, especially given the pressure, wilting heat and the sheer fight of his opponent.
To celebrate Wimbledon finals weekend Handmade Arcade, Exeter's monthly handmade and arts market, will have a Wimbledon theme including tennis-themed activities to raise money for local charity, Hospiscare.
The market will be held in McCoy's Arcade, Fore Street in Exeter on Saturday 6 July from 10am to 5pm.
Enjoy a browse at the array of stalls selling original art, jewellery, vinyl and gifts. Take a break with a coffee and cake from the Real McCoy Cafe or indulge in strawberries and cream and a glass of Pimms from the Bikeshed Theatre.
