The Torquay Chamber of Commerce and local leading business owners have put forward a proposal to Torbay Council to establish a year round market experience utilising the events space at the Banjo in Princess Gardens on Torquay Harbour.

A CGI example of how it could look can be seen in the photo below. We are aiming to launch later this year with a boutique Christmas market, primarily for local retailers, and if it is a success then there is a proposal to hold a market each month providing a "calendar" of events to attract both residents and visitors alike – more details to be released soon.
