Cons:

• "Also not friendly key cutter, a smile costs nothing."
• "We were disappointed by this market as we think it advertised it as a 'Christmas Market' and that's why we went to Tavistock but it wasn't. Lots of repetitive stalls, a bit of a classic mishmash market of old toy cars, books, kitchen roll, artists and knitwear."

Stall Variety

Pros:

• "Different stalls on different days I believe but any day is interesting."
• "Lots of individual stalls selling all their different goods from clothing, bric -a-brac, pet food and accessories, plants and gardening bits, jewellery."

• "Probably the most diverse range of goods for sale in any Town in the UK."
• "A great mix of stalls from books to jewellery to leather goods. There is a cafe as well. It is located in Central Tavistock so easy to get to."
• "The market is a mix of everything. Quite interesting antique items."
• "Great range of stallholders in the market. Something for everyone."

Cons:

• "A lovely little artisan(ish) market, but only about 1/3 of the stalls were genuine... sadly the rest were selling disguised mass produced, imported goods."
• "Lovely to look around but silly that some stalls don't use card readers."
• "SO busy! We went on a Saturday and couldn't even park."
• "If you are from the North of England where markets are really big you will be disappointed."

Accessibility

Pros:

• "Clean free toilets. What a great treat (less able friendly as well)."
• "The central market hall has recently received a modern facelift, with automatic sliding doors to facilitate easy disabled access."
• "Dog friendly and wheelchair accessible."
• "Wheelchair accessible with some automatic doors and accessible toilets."

Cons:

• "Parking is a bit scarce. We parked at 1£ 1 hr max paid parking near the market."
