Spring International Market Returns To Belfast 25-29 May

The Spring International Market will return to the grounds of Belfast City Hall on the over the final Spring Bank holiday, from 25–29 May.

This year's market will host over 60 traders, offering food lovers, families, and fun seekers the very best international flavours, crafts, and gifts.

Marvellous Moussaka and Gyros made to traditional Greek recipes, tasty Bratwurst or Currywurst sausage cooked on the huge traditional German Schwenkgrill and delicious Dutch Pancakes are just some of the tempting treats on offer.

There will also be a variety of crafts and gifts to discover, including African soaps and candles, handmade Ecuadorian jewellery and beautifully crafted pottery from Tunisia. A wonderful array of artisan food, drink and craft products from a mix of local traders will add to the event, including intricate original paintings and prints and freshly made, frozen lemonade.

Excited to bring back the much-anticipated Belfast International Market, Market Place Manager, Andy Pidgen, said: "Market Place is delighted to be bringing our international award-winning Spring International Market back to Belfast. The atmosphere promises to be great, with so many visitors exploring and enjoying all the sights and flavours on offer."

Looking forward to seeing visitors enjoying the event in the grounds of City Hall, Belfast City Council Chief Executive John Walsh, said: "The Spring International Market at Belfast City Hall is such a seasonal treat for everyone. Not only is it foodie heaven, it's a great, vibrant, fun place to meet up and socialise with family and friends. It's great for Belfast too, attracting additional visitors to the city to stay longer and spend more – and gives a superb platform to some of our best local traders."
