Reviews of Durham Market Hall

J. B.

nice little look round in here has a cafe upstairs which we had a bite to eat

B. B.

Pleasant surprise, quirky shops, great café. Plus interesting architecture, if one cares to look.

J. H. R.

A great array of artisan stalls and those type of stalls that people find hard to find elsewhere. health foods, phone and watch repairs, floor coverings, cleaning and DIY supplies, gift stall, antiques, plants, Turkish homewards, electrical goods and hardware, locksmiths, dance wear, flowers, fossils, etc. Worth a couple of hours of your time, spend some money, have a coffee and a cake and help their businesses.

G. P.

Nice little market, good book stall some nice local produce with unusual and difficult to find ingredients. Definitely worth a visit.

A great little market with some very individual stalls. Loved the Turkish light stall. Very hot down there in a warm day. Well worth a visit.

k. f.

Love Durham market, just the place it's in is fascinating. It has a decent mix of stalls to browse. Have to visit as it's been around since 1850.

B. F.

It's ok, there are some nice shops like the fish monger and green grocers, but overall it's very disappointing in comparison to the Newcastle one. I know it's a lot smaller, but street food-wise there's nothing. You'd think there would be some choice, at least. It's also very packed in and hard to navigate. I think they could improve business a lot by widening up the walkways and making it much more welcoming, even if there were less room for traders. The opening hours are also very poor, closing at least an hour earlier than all of the shops in the centre do. I'm sure many traders would be happy to open longer if allowed. Overall I'd recommend whomever manages it to go visit Newcastle's markethall on a Saturday and see the difference. The street food and walkability is what attracts people in, allowing the less profitable businesses to thrive.

R. A.

A place worth a visit. Go and see for yourself. A great selection of independent traders all friendly with a restaurant upstairs 👌

Lots of different "stalls ", but as I was after a watch battery, found no-one sold them/put them in. Changed alot over this past year. (Ps, lost my favourite bag charm, (a small grey bunny)). If anyone finds.....Market Hall very busy.

Good variety of stalls cafe is excellent. You can't fault the full English brekkie

A. M.

This is a fantastic place and a must visit if you're at Durham, plenty stalls to look at, I would highly recommend the wet fish stall and the cheese/deli stall. Nice place to call in for hot food to take away from stalls and the licensed cafe upstairs does fantastic food to sit down and eat.

K. M.

An amazing indoor & historic market slap bang in the city centre that is well supported with local traders offering quality produce. There are a few stalls outside on the Saturday I was there.. If a 1st timer consider the "Park & Ride" which takes you into the city centre.

Love Durham market hall it has a vast range of stalls.100% better than Darlington indoor market which has been decimated by the new owners, which is a shame because it was a good indoor market. There's a saying if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Historic undercover market hall in Durham market place. Some really good stalls selling books, quality footwear, records/cds, fresh fish, butchers, cakes, toys, tobacco and loads more besides. On the upper level is a cafe which looks out over the market. Worth a wander round.

M. G.

I love visiting this place whenever i'm in Durham. There are lots of unique stalls selling everything from jewellery to food. Its inside so no matter what the weather is, you can browse till your heart's content. The retailers are all super friendly and nothing is ever too much bother for them. If your after a unique gift or just want a bargain, visit here, you won't be disappointed!

Quite a Nice little market in the square. Indoor market is great too.

D. G.

Love this old indoor Victorian Market,I was born in a mining village near Durham although that's long gone, so used to come here as a child with my family, I was fascinated by this wonderful market, now it's many years later and live near Darlington now but always go back to Durham and first place I head for is the market, it doesn't seemed to have changed much, think there's about 60 stalls, everything you need, people are very friendly and helpful, and of course upstairs there is a great cafe, plenty to choose from and very reasonable price, you can spend ages in this market you get the feel you have gone back in time, you can't go to Durham and not pay this place a visit.

E. L.

A traditional English market hall with a good selection of stalls from greengrocers and butchers to guitars and pizza counters, via household goods and watch repairers. Always spotlessly clean and fresh, it's a good place to just browse, even if you are not expecting to buy anything!

Quite a nice clean busy place and very nice just to have a walk around.also I must say the cafe on the top of the market is highly recommended a cracking cup of tea or coffee nice pleasant staff, do a cracking bacon sandwich what else do you want

K. D.

Great choice of articles and produce available.Very popular, well worth a visit.

J. P.

A great selection of small (non-chain) shops selling a wide range of items. Inside there are a greengrocer, a baker, a butcher and cheesemonger, a fishmonger, an ironmonger, a haberdasher and a cobbler. There are also shops selling craft items, soft furnishings, toys, second hand books and CD/DVDs. There are also a range of takeaway/sit-in food outlets including a cafe, and a pizza counter.

F. T. N.

An old fashioned indoor market full of small trader's Often overlooked by visitors to the city and not posh enough for the students who want everything for next to nothing.

C. A.

Good range of stalls. Aisles rather narrow. Stairs to cafe are ridiculously tricky to negotiate, being steep, narrow and made of smooth metal.

A great place with a mixed bad of shops. Compared to other places, this Market Hall is nearly always full of retailers. A beautiful building in a truly beautiful city.

I love Durham market but rarely go into town now , mostly due to parking issues which are set to get worse and the fact lots of businesses have been squeezed out of town plus I don't like the way the city council have altered the historic market place.

This place is a nice. There is a tonne of stalls with clutter overflowing everywhere. Would be nice if they cleaned up the retail space a bit. A tonne of potential for this spot.

Be nice if the times that are state on the website that a trader is open would be correct turned up under the impression a trader was open at 9am and at 9.15 they were not open and I had made a special journey just to go to this one traders stalll. It is unacceptable that the times are not kept to so please change the times on your website to reflect when a trader will actually open

B. D.

Tucked away down two doorways off the main market square, the indoor market always feels like a bit of a secret! It's got some unusual stalls, like an armourer and a spice merchant, a good haberdashery stall, fishmongers, butchers, bakers and a wide selection of miscellaneous others. And a cafe! Well worth half an hour to explore and find some bargains.

The Market Hall, known locally as the indoor market, announces itself as Durham's Independent Department Store. Not a bad description. Stalls include fruit and veg, meat, shoes and clothes, hardware and soft furnishings, toys and cards, books and videos. There is a cafe with public toilets and even a store guide and security. The prices and range of goods serves local people from the surrounding villages well. It has a great atmosphere, with laughter frequently punctuating the friendly banter. But it's not the kind of place Durham's (mostly affluent) students would frequent. Saturday is a good day to come as the outdoor market attracts quite a crowd. The Market Square is a good place to sit and chat or watch passers-by and there are often special events.

As a local in Durham I regularly call into the centre at lunchtime. For food I would highly recommend the Akins Bakery (you can get straight there through the back alley between St. Nicholas' church and the city hall). They do some fantastic pasties and if they ever have it in pick up a slice of Russian cake, amazing stuff! If Pizza's more your thing the Brooklyn Pizza Slice also sells some fantastic pizza slices. [Since writing this review the Akins Bakery has closed in the indoor market due to a retirement of the staff running this branch. There is still a store though that sells Akins products just inside when entering through the entrance closest to the end where St. Nicholas' church is on the market square. Brooklyn Pizza Slice has also moved and now has it's own store on North Road close to the Sainsbury's Local]
