Owner of Spoken, George Nightingale on Exmouth Strand has announced the schedule for the 2024 Exmouth Christmas Market.
Last year, Mr Nightingale bought the Christmas Market back after a hiatus of six years in 2023. The 2024 village promises to have 'absolutely everything.'
A market, an event space, a New Year celebration, comedy shows, a meeting place for a warming drink and a community space where all manner of events take place.
The village is split into two sections - ’The Christmas Market’ and ‘Events'
Starting on December 13 the Christmas Market will run until December 17. It is a free-to-attend Christmas Market where 80+ independent and hand-selected businesses will showcase their products undercover.
Now in its second year, Mr Nightingale says: "Exmouth and East Devon has a focal point for Christmas activities where music, laughter and good times can be had."
‘The Jingle Inn’ is a new addition to the market where you can sit and soak up the atmosphere of Christmas in the warm and dry while sipping on a hot mulled drink, or cocktail, from a selection of local suppliers.
Throughout the day and into the evenings there will be entertainment and live music acts, Friday 13 from 7pm - close EL Barco DJ, Saturday 14th - 4pm LaLa Choir, 7pm - close Video DJ Danny, Sunday 15th - 12pm Exmouth Town concert band, Tuesday 17th - 2pm Exmouth deaf academy
