Great Torrington Pannier Market
On 1st July 2026, North Devon Handmade Collective (NDHC) was appointed by Torridge District Council as the licence holder for Great Torrington Pannier Market for an initial three-year term.
We view this appointment not simply as a management role, but as one of stewardship. Great Torrington Pannier Market has been at the heart of the town since 1842 and is one of North Devon's most important heritage assets. Our responsibility is to protect and celebrate that heritage while supporting traders, welcoming visitors and helping the market continue to thrive for future generations.
