Markets in NewcastleGateshead

Why not head down to the bustling Sunday Quayside Market which takes place each week along the banks of the River Tyne? This iconic market should be part of any weekend visit to Newcastle, as street food vendors and stalls gather on the riverside to sell everything from gifts and toys to crafts and luxury confectionery. Complete with stunning views of the Quayside, there really is no better way to spend your Sunday.

For the local vibe, head to the Low Fell Food Market in Saltwell Park or the monthly Jesmond Food Market along picturesque Armstrong Bridge, for fresh produce and street food.

While there are many fantastic markets in NewcastleGateshead all year round, there are also a number of wonderful markets which pop-up annually. The festive season is one of the best times of year to visit Newcastle and Gateshead, as during December, the region is host to a number of magical Christmas markets, where you'll find lovingly crafted gifts, cards, sweet treats and decorations from across the region and Europe.

Wander the virtual Local Heroes market here and sit back to await your hamper of local produce and artisan goods. Choose from a delivery box of meat, fresh fish or groceries from local traders and businesses who you might see at an outdoor, weekly market; or why not build your own package? Make your own delivery box of local produce including cheese, jams and chutneys, drinks, chocolate and milk.
