The market is located on both the East and West concourses of the Victorian station at Tynemouth.
Although now a Metro station it’s in the process of being restored back to its former glory.
The most important part of the project was to restore the beautiful roof. This is now about 60% done. This means you can browse the market under cover.
Market days are Saturday & Sunday, 9.00am ’til 4.00pm (ish)
Saturday is mainly devoted to antiques and bric-a-brac with a few other types of traders thrown in for good measure.
Sunday has a lot of craft & bric-a-brac plus books, cds, dvds, tools and general stalls.
Every third Saturday in the month there’s a farmers market running alongside the usual market.

I’ll have to let my sister know you caught her and one of my neices in your shot Cassandra! I love Tynemouth Market, you just never know what you’re going to find there…..I very rarely come away empty-handed anyway!
What a lovelu colourful market. Pity I’ve never known about it until now. But I’ll will catch up with it. Thanks. Ciao. A.
I did, Mo?! How fun! The woman going down the stairs in the bottom right corner with the backpack was my flatmate!
Thanks, Antonella!
I was in Tynemouth on Easter Saturday, and never thought to call in! How daft.
went for the first time today - it’s huge isn’t it? And on a lovely day like today, very enjoyable and a great setting for it.
