Tiverton Winter Market
Through December, Tiverton's Pannier Market hosts four successive Saturday markets that earn the name more honestly than most seasonal events. The market has a loyal following of local traders who know their customers well — selling handmade ceramics, Devon preserves, locally roasted coffee, wool goods, candles, and cured meats, the kind of things you'd actually want to give or receive.
The Victorian ironwork of the Pannier Market makes it a particularly good setting for a winter market: covered and atmospheric without feeling like a tent hastily erected for the season. There's usually warm food and drink available, and the surrounding streets are pleasant for a post-market wander once the evening lights are on.
Tiverton is six miles from Cullompton, making this an easy half-day outing that combines well with the town's independent shops and the walk along the leat. For guests spending part of December in mid-Devon, it's the most rewarding Christmas market within easy reach.
