This weekly quayside market gives me yet another excuse to take in the breathtaking views along Newcastle quayside whilst weaving my way amongst the many stalls lining the river. Arts and crafts, unique gifts, jewellery and iconic photos showcasing Newcastle are all on offer as well as a huge variety of food and drink to keep you fuelled along the way!
Being Geordie proud and ignoring my Mancunian roots I love perusing the merchandise and photos of local landmarks or scenery.....I even admit to buying a new phone case with the Tyne Bridge on yesterday! I also indulged in some delicious Indian street food after a lot of umming and ahhing over whether to have a Geordie banger or lebanese chicken or head straight for the sweet selection of waffles or cakes.
The pathway along the quayside is rather narrow once the market stalls are set up so even though the road is closed off it is still quite congested so expect to get caught up in people traffic. Whether you are just window shopping, on the hunt for a bargain or unique gift or simply there to taste the food....there's something for everyone and it's worth a visit. read more
