The Quayside Market has a long history dating back to 1736 when it was first recorded in historic records as a fair. The original Quayside market stretched from the old Tyne Bridge (near the site of the current Swing Bridge) along Sandgate and beyond. Commercial stalls selling every manner of goods were pitched along the riverside with a variety of fairground attractions and racing tipsters providing added entertainment.
Today the Quayside Market takes place every Sunday in the year from 9.30am to 4pm. This vibrant market is flourishing with traders selling quality local crafts, artwork, jewellery, fashion and food together with the traditional stalls selling plants, clothing, sweets, ice cream and toys.
