AN event is being held in Great Torrington later this month to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the refurbishment of the town's Pannier Market.
It was given a new roof in 1999 as part of the work co-ordinated by the Great Torrington and District Community Development Trust.
The work was paid for by Torridge District Council, the Rural Development Commission, English Partnerships, the Manifold Trust and European Rural Development Fund.
The building, which houses a number of small businesses, is managed by Genesis Ltd.
