Great refurbishment. Visited on a Tuesday but unfortunately not many stalls open. Am told it's usually much busier on a Friday. I can imagine when all the businesses are open it would be very attractive

The stall holders were friendly and helpful, there's different stalls on different day's, so we will be back on different days to see what else is going on, thanks to the sign stall vendor he's knowledge and entertaining

We visited on a friday, it's a lovely building with a nice variety of traders, but sadly only enough to fill half the space. We came across it by accident, so it needs a lot more advertising & effort put in to getting more traders there. We visited other markets in the North Devon area that were better & busier.

Newly renovated indoor market/ event area. I love wandering around the stalls of farm foods, antiques ,fruit stalls and clothing etc. It's a large area, very clean and brightly lit by natural light. If visiting Barnstaple it's well worth a visit as it's situated in the high street.

At last, this beautiful, functional historic building has had some love bestowed upon it! Barnstaple Pannier Market has been closed for 8 months (from January to August 2023) to have essential work done. They reopened half of the market on 2nd August 2023 to reveal a smarter, freshly painted gorgeous market for traders, locals and visitors to enjoy. They've painted it white walls with light blue roof trusses and darker blue doors and accents. Added glass doors which has transformed the space flooding it with natural light. But the best part is that after decades it now has public loo's! And seriously OMG these loo's are amazing! NEW LUXURY SUITE OF FIVE SELF CONTAINED TOILET, BASINS & SUPER DUPER HANDDRYERS!!! But that's not all they also have a self contained BABY CHANGING SUITE with changing pull down table, kiddies loo, adult loo, basin, hand dryer & plenty of space for all the family, pram & dogs too!!! I love a decent clean public loo as i feel it's a really important ingredient to a day out. The other half of the market will be open within the next month and that will include a disabled loo so I'm told. The traders are happy and relieved to be back trading in the market and there was a great selection or goods on offer. Canvas local pictures, handbag stall selling a great selection at reasonable prices and beautiful Umbrellas, ethnic gifts, crafts, local paintings from local artists, clothing, belts,e cigarettes and accessories, jigsaws and puzzle books, cds, jewellery, antiques and bric-a-brac, toys to name a few! It's all under cover, free entry, wide entrances for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and double buggy. Plenty of space to browse and roam. Dogs are welcome too! The Market is open Tuesday to Saturday 9am to 4pm but I would visit in the morning as they start packing up at 2pm. It's closed on bankholidays. Most stalls have contactless payment. So pop in when you're in Barnstaple Devon, have a good rummage, find some bargains and as always support a local independent small business.

Not what it used to be. Butchers row now the opposite of butchers row. Was a full row of butchers. Nice to see lego for.kids there. Fudge shop always a winner
