Very nice venue. Did a talk here and was pleasantly surprised by the space and facilities. Nice cafe and the library on the bottom floor, toilets and conference rooms upstairs. Parking is good too.

I had my Retirement party at the Watermark in early August.There were around 120 people present and we had a welcome glass of Prosecco, then talked, danced and drank the night away. The Watermark staff, especially, Michala the manager, were so friendly and helpful right from when the venue was first booked. We had the whole of the first floor with a disco and tables in the Stowford Hall and the Beeson Suite where people could sit and talk and watch a slide show. The food was served in the gallery corridor. Michala served the complimentary Prosecco and her daughter manned the bar and both were on hand all evening in case we needed anything, they were awesome.We were allowed to bring our own food and that helped to keep costs down. We were encouraged to decorate the venue with balloons, banners,bunting and we provided flowers for all the tables, so the atmosphere was great. We had a fantastic evening and so did all our guests. I would definitely recommend the Watermark as a venue for your own function.

Worst breakfast in ivybridge. On the face of it , it looks ok until you taste the poor quality goods. Cheap sausage, cheap baked beans , egg smothered in oil, horrible brown sauce. £1 extra for ONE slice of bread and butter.At this price range (£8.50) they could use quality products and still make profits. First and last meal there. Better options only 2 mins away.

My favourite place for lunch in the area, well priced and great service. Lots of tables to sit inside and out, good for a snack or just a cup of tea. Far better than some of the overpriced cafes in the area.

We really enjoy coming to see comedians here. Staff are all very welcoming and friendly :-). Great sound and atmosphere but seats are a little uncomfortable after a while ??. Also, the parking is not so good now that the parking arrangements have been changed :-(

Went to see a comedian how curtains on here are very strange venue for a live show. Felt like being more in a lecture theatre. Really good show though

Went here on a Burlesque/Cabaret evening with my partner and found the show to be very good. Everybody within the Watermark were very accommodating. Only bad thing was a bloke beside me kept shouting out to the compere who dealt with him well and the comedian who was very good plus they dealt with him as well. Obviously had too much to drink during the interval. Otherwise it was a good evening overall.

Everything you need under one roof, library, cinema and café. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Good place to meet up with friends for coffee or lunch. Also they hold live entertainment there with a bar upstairs which can also be hired for private functions.

Good selection of books for different ages. Also has a good cafe on site. Cinemas shows more recent films now as well compared to previously when they were showing films as they were being released to buy.
A bustling hub of activities for the local people of Ivybridge...NOT just a library. They show films, aswell as the building being used by Citizens Advice, and a café which serves the basics. As I don't actually live in Ivybridge but outside I can't list everything the Watermark offers, suffice to say, for a small town, it's pretty well equipped. ? xx

The cafe here is fab, I was visiting the osteopath who I can't praise enough. Nice to have free car parking as well.

A first visit for me we went to see Kiki Dee and had a great evening the theatre is small and intimate and the seating is well set up so that you don't feel too closed in. The bar was well stocked with a variety of different refreshments and not over priced and the amenities were spotless all in all a superb little venue
Stephen Perring
Saw The Dave Hankin Big Band. Absolutely top drawer stuff. Excellent musicians - a great evening. Thank you.

Went for the bounce and rhyme session, ended up enjoying the cafe, (amazing carrot cake) and used some of the other services available at the library, such friendly and helpful staff!
