Halloween spirit was out in force on Saturday (October 25) at Great Torrington Pannier Market as visitors enjoyed a day full of spooky fun and family-friendly activities, including pumpkin carving, cake decorating, hair wraps, arts and crafts – even a yucky lucky dip.
The Wicked Weekender was organised by volunteer market co-ordinator, Sam, whose hard work and enthusiasm helped bring the community together to enjoy some frightful fun.

The event had support from local traders and suppliers - John Patts brought the pumpkins, plus the event was sponsored by Great Torrington Rotary Club, with traders Zdenka and Lauren hosting different activities.

Sam said: “I love volunteering for the Pannier Market – it means all the profits can go straight back into making this a great community space for everyone to enjoy.
“The Market Hall is such a great space for all kinds of activities and events, as well as being home to such a charming, friendly market. I couldn’t do it without the incredible support and encouragement from the traders and shopkeepers, and definitely not without the mentorship of Leighroy and Lucy from South West Events Management Solutions.”
