The whole area is worth walking around and looking up, rather than at the shops! Count the entrances to the Grainger Market before going in and checking out how market traders ply their trade! There are so many iconic buildings, but to appreciate the beauty, you must stand back and take the time to explore the skyline. The Central Arcade... More

A great place to buy cheap and good quality food. It has nice selection of meat, poultry and seafood. Loads of takeaway restaurants. 'Simply Seafood' is one such noodle bar which is a must try. Or just relax and take in the sights and sounds.

Aside from the beautiful buildings, someone is always protesting something at Grainger's Monument! They host a number of international markets or street fairs throughout the year around the general vicinity. I bought garlic peelers on my last visit for gifts and the recipients loved them! Great cheese and pastry offerings.

We've walked Grainger street up till Grey's monument. Very nice shopping street! Don't forget to visit Grainger Market! Stalls with all sorts of different products you can buy: Food, postcards, baby clothing, cd/dvd's, you name it. For me it seemed very local: to see the deals get made while buying fish and to hear them talk in their accent. Fun... More

I popped in here by chance, as i was killing some time at the end of a business trip, and had a couple of hours before my train was due. I really wish i had found this place earlier in the week, it was a great market, had all the right mix of stalls, a great mix of local "Characters"... More

My partner and I went to Grainger Market on Saturday for the first time in years and what a transformation!! The bread stall in the Victorian Atrium of the market is to die for - homemade bread, cakes and pies. They also have a shelf where you can buy yesterday's bread for 50p. Great for the budget-conscious. The range of... More

Grainger is the heart beat of Newcastle upon Tyne, well almost. It's got most of the amenities u will need, from a cinema to a market and one of the biggest indoor mall I've been to in Eldon Square. While you will find many big departmental stores here such as Marks & Spencer and Derbenhams, there are also plenty of... More

Aside from having fantastic architecture, Grainger Market is full of stalls that are simply different from the usual High Street fare. Besides the Marks and Spencers Penny Bazaar, and the Weigh House made famous by the Hairy Bikers, there are other great places to shop. And if you get hungry, there are some really good cafes in the market. Check... More

Grainger market is a blast from the past, an eclectic collection of stalls selling anything from really good looking fresh meat, fish and vegetables to flowers, greetings cards and clothing. What's really good is its's all undercover. A visit to Newcastle would be incomplete without a visit. I' told by my wife that we will be returning to do the.... More
