Market Square
Old Town, TO1 2DC
Torstow Farmer’s Market draws the best farm and rural produce from across the Southwest! Home to everything from artisanal cheese, straight from the dairy, to fresh bread baked on-site from the finest country grain, to the many world-famous Torstow ciders, beers, meads and wines. There is no finer spot for a Torstowlian or a visitor to discover the true flavours of the city and the great farming communities that support her! The food and drink are supplemented by a traditional rural craft contingent who offer a wide array of ornaments and novelties, giving visitors a chance to bring a small piece of the countryside home with them.
The Torstow Craft Market has a long pedigree, with Torstowlian craftspeople and artisans taking over from the farmers two days a week, selling craft both traditional and modern and offering workshops and a mini-tour of some of the longest established artisans and their stalls. The best reason to spend time in Torstow: the same place on different days different delights may find.
Fish Market
Siren's Quay, TO14 3BC
Torstow Fish Market has, for centuries, been the place where the hardy fishermen who feed the fair city sell the freshest, largest, tastiest and rarest delicacies to be found in the salty seas.
