RURAL CRAFTS

Exford Show prides itself on selecting exhibitors from around Exmoor and its surrounding areas. This year we have some new and exciting products as well as our long standing favourites.

As Exmoor is a remote and hilly place we would recommend that visitors try to bring cash as sometimes the phone signal is a bit patchy which can make buying the wonderful crafts on sale a bit tricky and unfortunately we are unable to have cash dispensers on site. Thank you.
