St George's Market Belfast - Saturday City Food and Craft Market

The Saturday market at St George’s is Belfast’s best-loved weekend market, combining local and continental food with artisan craft stalls and live music under the market’s Victorian glass roof. It draws both a weekend shopping crowd and visitors treating it as a destination in its own right.

What to Expect

Food is the focus - meat and fish, cheese, coffee beans, tapas, organic produce and hot food from around the world sit alongside baked goods and local specialities, so it is as much a place to eat brunch as to shop. Artisan producers selling crafts and gifts fill out the rest of the hall, and local bands play live throughout the morning, giving the market a proper weekend atmosphere rather than a purely functional shop. A quiet hour runs from 9am to 10am for anyone who prefers a calmer visit, and the hall tends to fill up quickly once it opens.
