One of Belfast’s most historic districts is set to come alive again as the first new independent weekly outdoor market in 400 years is launched. Bank Square, in the city centre, will soon be the location of Folktown – a farmers’, food and artisan market – running all day every Thursday, beginning on April 16.

The market will be in one of the most central spaces in Belfast, Bank Sq, only a few yards from the main shopping streets, Castle Court shopping centre and multi-storey car parks. The square and adjecent streets are are currently being upgraded by DSD as part of Streets Ahead. The reburbishment will cater for the market with pop-up electricity and water points. Surrounded by two of the oldest churches, Mourne Seafood Restaurant and traditional pubs, one dating back to the 18th century, the square is steeped in character and heritage – we can turn this into a perfect place for people meet and do their shopping – crossing barriers and reconnecting the city.
