The best speciality market is at St George's in Belfast but this one is always well supported and seems to have grown slightly in recent years, especially during the summer months when the weather is sometimes better.
It runs every second Saturday each month so if visiting the town you can add a visit to the list of things to do.
On our last visit the morning turned out very wet so the market decamped to the concourse of the Diamond Centre.

Great stalls. Have made friends with a few of the stallholders especially those who sell items which hold our interest. Bought jam and posted to England. Also bough a lovely hand made fountain pen. Love to wander around all the stalls

It runs only on some Saturdays, not sure the pattern.
Has some really nice local and crafted foods to buy with plenty of samples.
Well worth a look around.

The market runs every second Saturday of each month throughout the year, and holds extra sessions at peak holiday times (see local information).
There are usually lots of artisan food producers from the north west area, but also a few based as far away as Belfast. Local and regional crafts are also represented.
We usually make a point of visiting it if our visit coincides with a market day.

Been to the market loads of times and I really love it. A fantastic mix of local food and crafts. I love the fact that it's all independent traders. The food is really tasty. I always end up buying and sampling a lot! It's usually only on once a month which I think is a real shame. It should be once a week. It would really benefit the town centre and bring more people into the town.
