A Hidden Gem in Grainger Market

Little Bazaar is a small, characterful gift shop nestled within the historic Grainger Market in Newcastle upon Tyne. Unlike a typical souvenir stall, it feels more like a cabinet of curiosities, filled with crystals, dreamcatchers, incense, and handpicked trinkets. The shop is run by Caroline, a long-time trader whose personal touch and warm welcome make browsing here feel intimate and special. It’s the kind of place where you might come in for a quick look and end up leaving with a small crystal, a handmade necklace, or a quirky card that feels like it was meant for you.

What You’ll Find Inside

The shelves and displays at Little Bazaar are packed with a carefully chosen mix of spiritual and decorative items. Expect to see a wide range of crystals, from clear quartz to amethyst and rose quartz, often sold in small pouches or as standalone pieces. Dreamcatchers hang from the ceiling, and there are plenty of candles, incense, and aromatherapy products. The shop also stocks quirky gifts, jewellery, and novelty items, making it a great spot for last-minute presents or souvenirs with a bit of personality. Prices are generally modest, and many items are priced to encourage impulse buys without breaking the bank.

Part of a Historic Market Experience

Little Bazaar is located inside Grainger Market, Newcastle’s oldest indoor market, which opened in 1835 and is housed in a beautiful Grade I listed building. This means that visiting the shop is also an opportunity to explore a bustling, traditional market filled with butchers, greengrocers, bakers, street food stalls, and other independent traders. The atmosphere is lively and authentic, with the sounds of traders calling out, the smell of fresh bread and spices, and the buzz of locals and visitors alike. Little Bazaar adds a whimsical, slightly mystical layer to this historic shopping experience.

Who It’s For

Little Bazaar appeals to those who enjoy browsing for unique, slightly alternative gifts and spiritual items. It’s ideal for visitors looking for a small, memorable souvenir from Newcastle, especially something with a personal or symbolic meaning. The shop is family-run and welcoming, making it suitable for adults and older children who enjoy exploring unusual shops. It’s not a large store, so it’s best treated as a quick stop rather than a destination in itself, but it can be a highlight of a market visit for those drawn to crystals, dreamcatchers, and handmade treasures.
