St George's Market, Market hall in Belfast, United Kingdom
St George's Market is a covered market hall in Belfast with around 250 stalls selling fish, fresh produce, antiques, crafts, and international food. The stalls are organized in distinct sections, and the selection changes across the three weekly market days.
The site began as a market in 1604, though the current Victorian building was constructed between 1890 and 1896. A major renovation in 1997 restored and modernized the hall to what visitors see today.
Local musicians perform live during market hours, making it a gathering place where people from Belfast and beyond meet and connect. The space brings together shoppers and passersby in a way that feels part of the city's social rhythm.
The market opens early on Friday mornings and operates into the afternoon on all three days, with varying hours depending on the day. A free shuttle bus service is available to help visitors reach the location.
The fish section takes up a significant portion of the market with many dedicated stalls, making it an important retail location for seafood in Ireland. This concentration of fish vendors is one reason locals return regularly.
