The Newcastle series

Every Sunday from 9:30 -4, a variety of Newcastle traders gather on the picturesque Quayside for the weekly market. This popular event happens all year round and is a great place for locals and tourist to find a range of stalls selling everything, from homeware goods to bespoke, hand-crafted gifts, freshly baked cakes and bread, and food from around the world.
Although I have lived in Newcastle for over a year now, I have never been to the Quayside market before, despite wanting to go for a long time and living very close. Regretting that I didn’t go during the spring/summer, when the weather is much nicer, I had a great day!
The smells are to die for! Not only are the sellers incredibly friendly, is there so much choice of fresh food, something for everyone! It really is the perfect place for anyone interested in trying different cuisines for a really good price.
 It is something I am really going to try to make weekly visits to, as I think the variety in stalls will depend on the availability of trader, and the weather of course!
After briefly researching the Quayside Market before going, I came across the stall prices for aspiring sellers. I was pleasantly surprise at the price of a meter wide pitch, and this got me thinking about maybe enquiring about a stall in order to do some selling, to earn some cash! Although I have no idea what I could sell, and whether it would be desired by anyone, being a fashion student must come in handy at this point, right? I have to give it a think.
 This topped off a lovely weekend of family, shopping, cocktails and a free dinner (whoop!) I would highly encourage anyone to give the Newcastle quayside a visit at anytime, as the views are beautiful and it is full of culture, but I would also recommend a trip to the Sunday market!

Apologies for not posting in a while, and for the contents of this post being quiet minimal, but I am just getting back into blogging again. I hope to be posting much more, work permitting, and whether I can’t be bothered!
