Although the trades and goods change, Kingsbridge retains the character of a market town.The new Open Market held twice-weekly on the town square is a great success. Although the cattle market held at Ropewalk has become more irregular. Other Markets are held in the Town Hall and the Market Hall, both in Fore Street. The weekly WI market held in the foyer of the Town Hall is particularly popular.
During the summer an increasing number of musical concerts and other events are held on the Town Square. The Town Council has announced plans to build a bandstand on the Square to mark the Millennium, adding yet another attraction to the area. The centre of the town has gradually shifted downwards from its historic centre at the top of Fore Street to the Quay area.
