Torre Abbey: the Spanish Barn and the abbey grounds, Torquay, Devon · South West England
A month-long Christmas market at Torre Abbey in Torquay, with craft stalls in the medieval Spanish Barn and food and drink in the abbey grounds, as part of Torbay's Bay of Lights.
Torre Abbey hosts Torquay's Christmas market from late November until just before Christmas, as part of the Bay of Lights season. For 2026 the market has joined up with Winter Fest: local makers and craft stalls are set out inside the abbey's medieval Spanish Barn, while the grounds outside have festive food, mulled wine, local craft beer, hot chocolate, gifts and family entertainment.
There is covered seating, an 'Alive with Light' projection show on the abbey, and free live music on Saturdays. Mother and Father Christmas also visit Torre Abbey during the season.
The Bay of Lights illumination trail runs through Torquay (in 2025 it started at Torre Abbey), and there is a real ice rink close by in Abbey Park. It opens from mid-afternoon on Wednesdays and Thursdays and from late morning Friday to Sunday, staying open into the evening.
