Three Tuesday-evening Christmas markets that spread across Totnes town centre, with more than 70 artisan and street-food stalls and late opening in the town's independent shops.

On three Tuesday evenings in December, Totnes turns its town centre into a Christmas market. More than 70 local artisan and street-food stalls are set up through the town, and the shops stay open until 9pm, so the markets mix with the town's many independent stores.

There is free street entertainment and live music, and two food-court areas: one in the Civic Hall car park behind the Market Square and one at The Mansion on Fore Street. On the first evening in 2026 (8 December) the Totnes Carnival Lantern Parade starts at the bottom of Fore Street at 4.30pm and finishes at the Rotherfold around 6pm.

A free Park and Ride runs from Follaton House on Plymouth Road from 5pm to 10pm on market evenings, and South Hams District Council's town-centre car parks are free after 6pm. The station is about ten minutes' walk away.
