St George's Market – 12-20 East Bridge Street, Belfast

The oldest and most famous market in Belfast is truly an experience. You will never find this place quiet; the hustle and bustle of the market is something for the senses. You will hear various accents, smell the variety of food stalls and be able to taste things from baked goods to monster-sized burgers.

St George's Market is open Friday-Sunday

If you prefer a simpler experience, this market has a quiet hour every day from 9am-10am where music is turned off for a calmer atmosphere to reduce noise for people with autism and young families. Please remember that this market is only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Haymarket – 84 Royal Avenue, Belfast

Wanting to crank it up a notch? Haymarket is for you. They host various events from bottomless brunch, date nights, student nights, karaoke and tribute nights such as ABBA, Taylor Swift and Shania Twain! This market uses a QR code to order and specialise in nibbles like chicken wings and garlic bread and sharing boards for you and your friends.

Common Market – 16-20 Dunbar Street, Belfast

Common Market is the perfect place for a fun day out in Belfast, located in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter, making it a stone's throw away from some of the best bars in the city! This market has a buzzing atmosphere, where they have carefully crafted a perfect range of food vendors to suit everyone’s needs. Some vendors include Hey Chick, Moon Gelato, Rebel Dough and Baps.

The warehouse style décor creates a great location to watch sport, where they show popular events on big screens and have pool tables on the top floor. Always have a look at their social media for upcoming events and live music!

East Block Bazaar at BananaBlock – 310 Newtownards Road, Belfast

The Bazaar is Banana Block's resident monthly market which happens on the last Sunday of every month. You won’t just find amazing food here, you will also be treated to local artisan producers, makers, growers and vintage sellers.

This area is great for families, dogs and a slow-paced dander around the various stalls. You will find fresh produce at this market from grilled cheese sandwiches to packed-out bagels. You never know what seller could show up but this is definitely one to visit!
