Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter to Host New Weekly Sunday Market 

The market is expected to bring a boost for local businesses in the surrounding areas of Cathedral Quarter, encouraging visitors to explore the area’s wide range of independent cafés, restaurants, pubs and cultural venues throughout the day

A new Sunday market packed with local creativity, independent makers and artisan food, is set to arrive at Writers’ Square at Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter.

The market, organised by Cathedral Quarter BID, is set to launch on 7th June 2026 at 12pm to 5pm and will run on selected Sundays throughout summer and into early autumn.

The market is expected to bring a boost for local businesses in the surrounding areas of Cathedral Quarter, encouraging visitors to explore the area’s wide range of independent cafés, restaurants, pubs and cultural venues throughout the day.

Damien Corr, Cathedral Quarter BID Manager, said:
“The Cathedral Quarter has always been a place where culture, creativity and community come together, so Writers’ Square is the perfect setting for this new Sunday market. It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase local makers and food producers while encouraging people to spend time in the area and experience everything the Cathedral Quarter has to offer.”

Donagh McGoveran, Owner of Centra Donegall Street, added:
“The Cathedral Quarter Sunday market at Writers’ Square is a fantastic addition to the Cathedral Quarter and something that will complement the atmosphere we already see across the area at weekends. It will naturally encourage visitors to spend more time discovering everything the Quarter has to offer – from cafés and restaurants to live music and nightlife. It’s exactly the kind of event that adds to the energy and character of the area.”
