Venue: Grainger Market
The Grainger Market (a Grade I listed building) is a permanent covered market and has been at the heart of Newcastle life since 1835. It was part of the redevelopment of Newcastle by Richard Grainger and his architect John Dobson. At the time it sold mainly meat and vegetables. Although fashions change the market still retains its traditional feel. The market houses a number of unique features including a refurbished fish market, the unique weigh-house and the world's smallest and oldest branch of Marks and Spencer which has traded since 1895.
