Walled City Market Derry

What to Expect

The Walled City Market takes place in the iconic Guildhall Square in the heart of Derry’s Walled City on the first Saturday of every month. The market brings together the best local artisan traders offering specialty foods - including homemade jams, chutneys and sauces, artisan breads and cakes, and organic meats - alongside handcrafted gifts, jewellery, and local arts and crafts. Live music and children’s entertainment run throughout the day, making it a family-friendly outing. The market runs from February through December, with the summer months (July, August, September) attracting particularly large crowds in the warmer weather.

The market is held in Guildhall Square, one of Derry’s most striking public spaces, with the Victorian Gothic Guildhall as its backdrop and the River Foyle nearby.
