Bideford Pannier Market

The Pannier Market complex has been in operation since it was built by John Chudleigh of Exeter in 1883/84. It is called a Pannier Market after the Wicker baskets or panniers in which farmers wives carried their wares to market. There are still panniers in use today which can be seen in the Market hall any Tuesday or Saturday.

Within the Pannier Market complex you will also find Butcher's Row and Perimeter Shops, which are open 6 days a week, with a verity of shops from butchers and fresh fish mongers to art and craft shops. Giving a fantastic range of produce for all those Bargain Hunters among you and much much more.
