In a post shared with followers online, the market team revealed they are exploring plans for a number of "Pop Up Taunton Night Markets" running between August and December, including potential festive evening markets in the run-up to Christmas. The market team asked residents whether they would attend a night market and whether Thursday or Friday evenings would be the preferred option. The Taunton Independent Market, which launched in 2020, has become a regular fixture on Castle Green, showcasing dozens of independent traders from across Somerset and the wider South West. If approved, the proposed night markets would add a new dimension to Taunton's independent market scene, which currently operates as a daytime event on selected weekends throughout the year.
