I would like to hold a market event elsewhere in Tiverton; do I need your permission?

In short, yes you do. As the licence holder for market rights in Tiverton, anyone else wishing to hold a market within 6 and 2/3 miles of Tiverton Pannier Market, needs to obtain our permission first.

Other markets include car boot sales, second-hand goods events (such as children's clothing and toy fairs), craft and gift fairs and school fêtes - all events where there are five or more stalls trading.

While we do retain the right to prevent rival markets from taking place, we will not be unfair with decision-making and generally see the benefit of charity/fund-raising events. However, we do ask that organisers of local events contact us first. Moreover, we may be able to help with publicity! Don't forget - you could also use Tiverton Market for your venue.

What parking and facilities are available?

Pay and Display Parking is available adjacent to the Pannier Market (off Newport Street) (standard charges apply). Traders receive one free parking permit per pitch; additional permits are available at £1.00 each.
Public Conveniences including easy-access and disabled toilets available
Deli Street Market Café for refreshments
