Food & markets / BELFAST

St George’s Market

Browse food and craft stalls beneath the market hall’s high roof, then choose something to eat instead of treating lunch as an afterthought. Friday, Saturday and Sunday have different mixes of traders, so the experience depends on when you come. Leave room for an unplanned find rather than arriving with a checklist of stalls.

Before you go

The regular market operates Friday to Sunday, not daily. Check the day’s trading hours before building an afternoon around it; it closes well before an evening meal.

The practical details

Where to find it: 12–20 East Bridge Street, Belfast BT1 3NQ, opposite the Waterfront Hall.
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking: No general market admission ticket is needed. Food, shopping and any special events cost separately; regular opening is Friday to Sunday.
Access and getting around: The council links a detailed AccessAble report. An accessible toilet with baby changing is on the Verner Street side. Crowds can affect movement between stalls; check the advertised quiet hour if this matters.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children: Keep a food budget and agree a meeting point with older children. Ask individual traders directly about ingredients and allergies. Quiet hours reduce music and other noise but do not promise an empty market.

Practical information checked 14 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.
