The magnificent nave of Exeter Cathedral, which houses the longest continuous vaulted ceiling in Europe, is to return to its medieval roots for the hosting of a Spring Fair.

The event is sponsored by Bonhams and takes place on Thursday 10th March 2016. Unlike its medieval ancestor, the modern day Spring Fair will be a quieter affair (no trading in live animals!) and will feature an array of stalls selling crafts and artisan gifts, and visitors will also be able to take time out to enjoy a traditional Devon Cream Tea provided by the Cathedral Café.

The market will run between the Cathedral's daily services at the Cathedral, from 10.30am until 4pm, for one day only.

Specialists from Bonhams will be on hand throughout the day offering a free valuation service, so bring along your pictures and other objects.

Tickets for the Spring Fair, which includes admission to the Cathedral, are priced at £7.50 (admission only) and £10.00 (admission and a Devon Cream Tea). Please call 01392 285983 to book or visit www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk/boxoffice.

Limited spaces for stallholders are still available. Please contact paul.courtn
