St. George's Market
A great rainy-day market in County Antrim
St. George's Market is a historic indoor market in Belfast, Northern Ireland, dating back to the 1890s. It operates on weekends with a Friday Variety Market, Saturday City Food and Craft Market, and Sunday Market. Families love the vibrant atmosphere, live music, and wide array of stalls selling local produce, artisan foods, crafts, antiques, and bric-a-brac. Highlights for kids: free entry, child-friendly food options (e.g., fresh doughnuts, crepes, smoothies), occasional face painting, and the chance to meet local vendors. The market is pushchair-friendly and wheelchair accessible. Practical tips: arrive early (opens 6am Fri, 9am Sat-Sun) to avoid crowds; limited seating but plenty of takeaway food; nearby parking can be expensive – consider public transport. Toilets are available inside.
