The new indoor market on Ilfracombe High Street, North Devon will open for business on Saturday 9 July at 10.00am. This enterprise actually brings new traders into the High Street at a time when other nearby towns are experiencing multiple shop closures. This increases the number of businesses in the High Street by over 15%.

The market has capacity for up to 23 stalls, most of which are reported to be taken, and features an indoor café too. It will be open six days a week from 10.00am to 5.00pm.

This is an exciting initiative and demonstrates that businesses in Ilfracombe are facing the considerable challenges of the UK retail sector with determination and commitment.

Good luck to all!
