St George's Market

The site where St George's Market currently stands dates back to the early 17th century.  The current building was built in the 1890s and oozes Victorian charmf following a £4.5million facelift a decade or so ago that brought it back to its former glory.  The weekend speciality markets that run year round Friday–Sunday have become a huge attraction, showcasing the best of the city's arts and crafts, alongside a great array of tasty local produce, whether it's fresh fish for supper or some tasty deli items for a lunchtime picnic in the City Hall gardens.  On weekends in particular, it's easy to while away a few hours, enjoying a multi-cultural brunch to the backdrop of some live jazz.
