Boasting over 80 different traders, visitors can enjoy delicious street food and a diverse retail experience, discovering everything from handmade fine jewellery and bespoke wooden gifts, to freshly baked cakes and authentic Thai food.

To mark a relocation with rich heritage, the Yard is offering one lucky winner the chance to take home a hamper packed full of market delights. The hamper will include a Christmas pudding from Plymstock Pantry, Domea Favour chocolate, Beer from Bulletproof Brewing, bottles of Hudnott’s and silver jewellery, as well as a selection of free food and drink vouchers.
