Hello everyone,
St. George's Market was built between 1890 and 1896. This market is the last surviving Victorian covered market in Belfast City. It is on May Street, near the River Lagan. It was built in red brick with sandstone (you can see several buildings with this style in Belfast). It was designed by the architect and engineer JC Bretland who also designed the fish market in Oxford Street.The main entrance arch shows the Belfast Coat of Arms and you can also see the City's Latin Motto "Pro Tanto Quid Retribuamus", which means "What shall we give in return for so much?".
There are 200 stalls selling fruit, vegetables, hot food, cakes and buns, fish, clothes, books. There are a lot of traders, musicians and food vendors.
Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday you can enjoy live music at St. George's Market. There are performances from local artist, then this is a fantastic weekend destination.
