Victorian Elegance in the Heart of Newcastle

Little Bazaar occupies a prime spot inside Grainger Market, a Grade I listed Victorian masterpiece opened in 1835 by architect Richard Grainger and designed by John Dobson. The market's light-filled iron-and-glass canopy creates an airy atmosphere, where sunlight filters through onto colorful stalls. This historic indoor hall, one of Britain's few still serving its original purpose, buzzes with the energy of over 100 independent traders amid elegant arches and original features.

The stall's bohemian aesthetic stands out amid the market's mix of fresh produce and street food, drawing those seeking something special.

A Generation-Old Market Staple
