Running for over 27 years, the Torquay Cowrie Market has grown immensely during this time, proudly supporting many local artists and small businesses over the years.  It has now become one of the biggest art and craft markets in the area.

Held on the third Sunday of the month, from September through to April each year, visitors enjoy the friendly, relaxed, coastal vibe. Torquay Cowrie Market specialises in quality local art, craft, jewellery, fashion, vintage goods, plants, gifts and produce. All items for sale are environmentally friendly, handmade, homegrown or designed by the stallholder. There's also an extensive range of exceptionally yummy food and two stages featuring local music and entertainment. You might even encounter a special pop up activity or performance!
