Welcome!
Sidmouth Folk Festival - 1st of August to 8th of August 2025
We are taking our shop to the Music Fair in Blackmore Gardens, Sidmouth, EX10 8LA, for Sidmouth Folk Week.
Our shop in Exeter will be closed from Thursday the 31st of July, while we set up our stand in Sidmouth.
We will be open in the Music Fair in Blackmore Gardens, Sidmouth from the afternoon of Friday the 1st of August, and every day thereafter, including Sunday, until Thursday the 7th of August from 10am to 6pm.
The Music Fair is behind the Dance Marquee in Blackmore Gardens. The whole family will enjoy the many other events happening in Sidmouth, including the free music stages behind the nearby Anchor Inn and in front of Dukes near the seafront and the children's festival on Peacock Lawn, just outside Blackmore Gardens.
The shop in Exeter will be briefly reopening on Wednesday the 13th of August. Our opening hours will be intermittent during the remainder of August, so please check here and our answerphone message before travelling.
Meanwhile you are very welcome to visit us at our stand in Sidmouth!
We look forward to seeing you in Sidmouth!

We are a professional violin shop and workshop in Exeter, Devon serving players of all levels.
We offer a good range of violins, violas, cellos, double basses, bows, strings, cases, sheet music and accessories suitable for beginners to professionals.
We discount all violin, viola, cello and double bass strings and will happily fit all violin, viola and cello strings purchased from us for free!
We are professionally trained violin makers, experienced in the repair and restoration of violins, violas and cellos, and also mandolin family instruments. All the instruments that we stock are offered properly set up - with a hand carved bridge, a good quality well adjusted soundpost, well fitted pegs, accurately shaped fingerboard (essential for accurate intonation) and good quality strings.
As well as making, repairing and restoring instruments we also offer a bow rehairing and repair service.
