Who we are

Ilfracombe Market is a vibrant, community-focused market bringing together independent traders, makers, artists, and small businesses in the heart of Ilfracombe.

Running seasonally, our markets are about more than just shopping — they’re about creating a welcoming space where locals and visitors can explore something different, meet the people behind the stalls, and enjoy the character and creativity of our coastal town.

We showcase a varied mix of stalls, including handmade crafts, artwork, gifts, speciality items, and street-food traders, with the lineup changing throughout the season. This keeps the market fresh and ensures no two market days feel exactly the same.

Set against Ilfracombe’s seaside backdrop, the market has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It’s dog-friendly, family-friendly, and designed to be enjoyed at your own pace — whether you’re browsing, chatting with traders, or simply soaking up the buzz.

Alongside our regular market days, we also host themed events and special dates throughout the year, supporting local enterprise while creating something enjoyable for the wider community.

We’re proud to support independent traders and to play a small part in bringing people together in Ilfracombe.
