THERE will be something for everyone this Christmas at Barnstaple's historic Pannier Market.

The market is really going to town with the festivities. There will be Christmas markets every Sunday in December in the run up to Christmas, as well as two opportunities to fit in some late night shopping.

Mums and dads can bring the little ones to meet Santa in his grotto and enjoy some entertainment of their own from local singer Sophie Parry who will be singing a variety of classic hits.

Lead Member for Community and Leisure, Councillor Dick Jones said:: "If you haven't been to the market before it's well worth a visit - you can pick up some unique Christmas gifts as well as fresh locally grown fruit and vegetables to make your Christmas dinner really special. You'll also be supporting local traders and doing your bit for North Devon's economy."
