There is always an interesting range of produce including :- Hand made chocolates, Devon honey and honey products,West Country cheeses, local cider, freshly baked bread,pasties and pies, seasonal vegetables,eggs, home made jams and chutneys and Dartmoor photographs. Refreshments are always provided with a variety of home made cakes,biscuits, scones etc with hot soup available in the colder months. The Market has now become an established fixture on the village calendar. It is usually held on the fourth Saturday of the month apart from sometimes around Easter and in December (dates vary).
