Lovely friendly market with quaint shops and hospitable and knowledgeable staff.

One of Durhams lovely places to visit, see if you can find the birds often missed by visitors.and locals alike.

Very nice very centrally located market. Has very good range of second hand records, pet provisions, gifts, hardware, stationery and books and more The nicest aspect is the cafe come restaurant on the first floor very nice range of dishes well and prepared. Order at the counter and they come and deliver to your table. Public transport links excellent accessibility good well worth a good look around

Always nice to walk through and make a purchase to help the local people. Good quality goods in and around the market.

Bought some fruit and veg, had a lovely walk around and fabulous Vietnamese espresso

Durham Market Hall has lovely shops and Stalls to look at. All the staff are very helpful. Cafe upstairs love nice place to have something to eat

It has been quite some time since we have felt confident enough to enter an area such as Durham Market. Today was the day, and we were more than pleased to see the vast array of goods available. It would be very difficult to list the various individual categories available in the market. Stall holders are very happy to assist with purchases. We spent nearly an hour ambling around the site. Well worth a visit, although it is difficult keeping your wallet in your pocket. UPDATE APRIL 2022 Durham Market is a joy to visit. The attraction of a variable selection of market stalls makes a visit a must. We visited today and were looking for specific items. We found the items in no time. Assisted by friendly stall holders who were quite happy to take the time and point us in the right direction.

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

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

What a lovely place to visit, from the cathedral to the castle the river side walks. And the market square and shops.

I am doing Membership's for the rspb today on the Durham Market. Drop in and have a chat about our bird's and nature. Looking forward to seeing you.

Great varied market, decent cafe.

I love this Market The stalls are an eclectic mix with everything you need, it's also warm and cozy inside.

Loads of market sellers. Everything located inside by the city square. I found a retro toy stall and bought loads of star trek ships. There is a guitar shop too. Some stalls do not have aisles big enough for wheelchairs.

Well worth a visit if visiting Durham. The hall has lots of food stalls as well as some good Homeware stalls, you can basically get anything here!

Market on saturdays is great the outside stalls, the ladies clothing stall called Alavyah is especially nice so wife said. Theres vintage jeans and other stalls too. Well worth looking round and grabbing some bargains.

I am notvthat thrilled about the place, but, and there is a great "but" - one of the stalls, which is actually a multi-stall is a gem: Row Bazaar. They sell rugs, lamps, small furniture, cushioncases etc from Turkey. It's a celebration of colours and fabrics and you'd be spoiled for choice. Highly recommended!

There are many different goods, with cafe and toilets, you can comfortably spend a few hours.

Lovely place to go the market is on a friday and you have the indoor market as well

A great place to be on a sunny weekend loads of outdoor food stalls a ND music

Great little market with a hidden gem of a cafe at the back upstairs Well worth visiting especially if you enjoy a good cooked breakfast

Light and airy and an ideal place for a quick drink. It is situated just outside the marketplace in Durham and we settled there with friends for a drink before they went to get a train. The toilet facilities were clean and tidy. They are suitable for people in wheelchairs or a parent with a buggy.

A quirky market hall with many traditional and some not so traditional traders. If you're browsing Durham, you really should drop in here, if just to take in the atmosphere.

Thank you to the 'phone guy' for replacing the back of my mobile phone. Very pleasant chap, so helpful and cheap. Thanks again .

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.

Very interesting and varied range of stalls and products. Easy to get around for the mobile but the aisles are tight & may not be suitable for motorised mobility vehicles.

Great selection of different and eclectic shops. Small Market but loads to choose from. Clean lift accessable toilets and cafe upstairs.

Great place to visit and browse. Too many stalls to mention here, but there is a record shop, a CD shop, haberdashery, fish monger, to name a few.

A great place to nose about and lots of interesting, independent shops and stalls. I particularly like the second hand clothes and the handmade lighting. Big second hand vinyl selection, lots of different foods, old toys and games, and loads more. Easy to spend a couple of hours, then there's a nice cafe too.

Plenty of lovely stalls in the old market building with interesting variety, from your typical market wares to bookshops, trinket shops and more. Nice little cafe upstairs with plenty of seating. Great atmosphere.

Lovely lil place lovely tolerant town actually. Bought a lovely new bag from the Turkish rug shop and my daughter a purse. One of the people working in the Queer bookstore was a person who smiled at me in town before I got there I liked that.. proper cute 😍 🤣🤣

Lots packed into this space. A good variety of stalls.

Great traditional market, loads of stalls and coffee shops.

Full of lovely little trading stalls. The people are very friendly in the north east.

Beautiful Square great mix of shops and of course the market rich if indoors and if your lucky some local entertainment

Lovely little place Durham, we went down on a Thursday was really hoping a market to be on but I'm not too sure if or when they hold them, there is an indoor type market but its the same stalls that's there, there is a lovely little cafe upstairs in the indoor market that did amazing fruit scones and a nice brew for a quick refreshment..

Durham Market used to be fantastic. It is now a little tired and worn. The amazing cheese shop has lost its gloss since it was taken over too. The fishmonger remains fantastic, however.

Each time I go to Durham I have to visit the market place. The shops are very varied and some of them are very specialist which I like. Shops of note are the rock & fossil outlet, the weapon store & the geek den which sells a myriad of movie memorabilia and figures. It's a must see for any visitor to Durham.

Nice little market not too big; has fishmonger, butchers, cheese counter, veggie store, record shop, Turkish light store, toy shop, coffee and most importantly real Ales alcohol plus many other stores. Closes early about 4pm minutes which is why I have taken one star off.

Whatever you want you can buy here. When you're finished you can buy a nice cheap meal in the cafe. Easy access for wheelchairs but I'm not sure about toilets. Well worth a visit

Indoor market. Plenty bargains. Wide range of stalls. Cafe. Rather gloomy but worth a visit. Excellent locksmith and key cutter there.

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.

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.

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

Very friendly market our grandchildren were amazed how many toys they could buy with their Easter Egg money. Much better for them than chocolate.

Lovely market square with seating. Statues to look at, a church here too, but someone said that it was modern inside. I did not visit. Lots of shops and an indoor marketplace

A great little indoor market full of a huge variety of goods. From precious gems, Turkish lights, to a fishmonger and sweet shop. There's a few toy stores as well as a weapons shop and small guitar centre. You'll be sure to find what you're looking for at the general store area for home improvements!

Lovely market. Good range of stalls selling good variety of products. Now know where to come if I ever need a crossbow. Other markets should take notes on how things are run here. Nice experience. Lovely cafe too.

My favourite market can get anything from here from kitchen to gifts it has all kinds of little shops in there such as a sweet shop a vinyl record store a shop which sells toys, gifts such as beauty and beast ornaments etc. It has a cafe upstairs and toilets lifts etc

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.

Like browsing around good DIY stalls, nice cafe upstairs, always good food and staff friendly

Love Durham Market Halls. Good variety of shops/ stalls . Well worth shopping there.

Well worth a visit. Stallholders are friendly and helpful. Great range of products. Daughter bought a twisted silver, copper and gold plated ring when we visited during the festive break. Bought a variety of cheeses from the well stocked deli which Lisa runs and is very friendly and approachable.

Enjoyable market to visit - excellent variety. Always surprising what you can discover there...

Uniquely British old market hall with dozens of appealing shops and stalls in a labyrinthine layout. A wonderful, if slightly cramped experience with plenty on offer from food and drink to guns and guitars.

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

Durham Cathedral great place to contemplate your thoughts
