Meet The Traders.
There is an incredible wealth of knowledge and creativity in North Cornwall and Devon that’s sometimes hidden by the geographic nature of living in a rural and isolated area.
The Exchange Directory is a network of artists, small businesses, makers, creators, producers, filmmakers, writers, thinkers and all types of inspirational people based in our community. It’s a space where creative and like-minded people can discover each other and be inspired, make connections and share skills.
