Croyde is situated on the South West Coast Path, facing out to the Atlantic Ocean on the stunning North Devon coastline, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The little seaside market village of Croyde has been attracting locals and visitors alike for centuries with its stunning landscape and vibrant market atmosphere. Even to this day, the village prides itself on the Annual Croyde Craft Market held every Thursday from April through to September.
Running for nearly ten years, this market has become a modern day tradition among the artistic producers of North Devon. It has as many as 30 stalls, offering the best of locally sourced, hand made, quality arts and crafts. This summer craft market is not only a great experience for tourists, but a vital part of many artists yearly income. For some of these producers the Croyde Craft Market acts as a great outlet to sell their work to people from all over, also making enough of an impression to encourage sales to regular visitors and those who purchase later online.
Many of the merchants at this market love the time that they spend there. With locals out to support their home grown artists, and tourists on holiday soaking in the atmosphere, this event spreads a good vibe throughout the local community.
The sellers at the Croyde Craft Market also work together in cooperation, supporting each other to make sure that no two stalls are alike. This ensures that a visit to the Croyde Craft Market is a seamless and exciting one. Few other events give such a completely unique experience round every corner.
So, if you love to support hard working, experienced and brilliant artists and makers of all mediums, or have a space in your home or wardrobe that is calling out for a beautiful piece of Devon made artistry, then Croyde Craft Market is the place for you.
Unfortunately with COVID, it has been understandably hard to travel for events such as this, but come April 2022, the Croyde Craft Market will be open once again, ready for another year of fantastic wares, an amazing atmosphere and eagerly waiting to meet you.
