I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fete market' is the definition.
'bazaar' can be an answer for 'market' (bazaar is a kind of market). I'm unsure of the 'fete' bit.

'a zulu started to arrange in pub' is the wordplay.
'zulu' becomes 'Z' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'started to' says to take the initial letters (I've seen 'start to' mean this).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
The first letter of 'arrange' is 'a'.
'a'+'z'+'a'='aza'
'aza' inserted within 'bar' is 'BAZAAR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bazaar that I've seen before include "Oriental market place" , "Parish event" , "Fund-raising sale" , "Group of stalls in oriental country" , "Middle Eastern market" .)
