St George's Market

St George’s Market is one of Belfast’s oldest attractions. It was built between 1890 and 1896 and is one of the best markets in the UK and Ireland. It has been selected for numerous local and national titles and awards for its fresh, local produce and great atmosphere. It holds a weekly Friday Variety Market, the City Food and Craft Market on Saturdays and the Sunday Market. It also hosts a range of events throughout the year.

It was named the UK's Best Large Indoor Market 2014 by the National Association of British Market Authorities, beating off stiff competition from internationally renowned markets like Spitalfields, Billingsgate and Borough.

St George’s Market was also voted the nation’s favourite Heritage project in the 2014 National Lottery Awards. They recognise and reward the inspirational impact of National Lottery funded projects across the UK. There are seven categories, reflecting the main areas of Lottery funding: arts, education, environment, health, heritage, sport, and voluntary or charity. St George’s Market beat off six other challengers in a public vote to win the Best Heritage Project. It received a £2,000 cash prize to spend on the project as well as a coveted National Lottery Awards trophy.
