Great Torrington Pannier Market is on the move! Torridge District Council are carrying out improvement works on the Market Hall - this includes new safety systems, extra electrical points for food vendors and redecoration. The works are all part of a plan by TDC and South West Event Management Solutions CIC to breathe some life back into the market - the changes will mean that Hot Food can be produced inside the Market, and will make the space more attractive and practical.
During the works the Market will be rehomed in Great Torrington Town Hall. South West Event Management Solutions CIC said, ‘Torridge District Council are planning some improvements to the Market Hall. Plans mean that the Market Hall will be out of use until early April.
The Arcade Shops will be open for business as usual.
We would like to extend a huge thanks to TDC for partially funding this temporary change, and the Town Hall, who stepped in to provide the space to keep the market going while work is being completed.
We couldn't do this without their support.
From the 7th March, the Market will be held in the undercroft of the Town Hall, and will run from 10am - 2pm every Friday and Saturday.
See you there!’

Great Torrington is a classic market town set above the striking River Torridge in rural North Devon.
It is a welcoming community with a distinctive past, a thriving present and much to see. The Town Centre has dozens of independent shops, a Victorian Pannier Market, pubs, restaurants and coffee houses. There is a fully restored Town Hall, a Library, Heritage Museum and the unique, friendly Plough Arts Centre. Nearby are Dartington Crystal and RHS Rosemoor, the Tarka Trail and Commons which are each worth a visit.
All this makes Great Torrington one of the key attractions in North Devon: a place to explore past and present, to soak up the unhurried charm of a character town in unspoilt countryside.
