Structural work begins on Newton Abbot's Market Hall

Structural works have now started on the Grade II listed Market Hall in Newton Abbot. The plan is to reinstate historic features which restore the building’s original charm and transform it into a welcoming and vibrant space.

Structural works have now started on the Grade II listed Market Hall in Newton Abbot. The plan is to reinstate historic features which restore the building’s original charm and transform it into a welcoming and vibrant space.

The first phase of the ambitious £5 million scheme involved the demolition of a section of the 1970s food hall to create a new pedestrian walkway from Market Street to the square. Teams working on the development were excited to uncover a view that had been hidden by the 1970s extension for nearly half a century.

The ongoing refurbishment of the historic Market Hall will create a thriving hub featuring a bar, street food vendors, retail shops, a café, a fresh food hall, and event spaces.

Don't forget, you can still shop at the market while renovation work is ongoing. Traders have been relocated to a temporary indoor market in the Market Walk Shopping Centre.

The main structural works are expected to be complete by the end of the year, with the Market Hall due to open in Spring 2026.  

We are keen to hear from anyone who wishes to know more about the opportunity to manage the new Market Hall space as well as prospective new traders who want to know more about the retail space, the Food Hall or the street food stalls. Anyone interested in these opportunities can email economy@teignbridge.gov.uk
