Tynemouth Market: The Complete Guide
Over 150 stalls in a restored Victorian railway station, every Saturday and Sunday. Here's everything you need to know about visiting Tynemouth Market.
Tynemouth Market is one of the most popular weekend destinations in the North East. Set inside a beautifully restored Victorian railway station with a magnificent glazed roof, it hosts over 150 stalls every Saturday and Sunday — rain or shine. Whether you're after vintage finds, handmade jewellery, street food, or just a morning out, here's everything you need to know.
When and Where
Tynemouth Market is held at Tynemouth Station, Station Terrace, NE30 4RE. It runs every Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 3:30pm, year-round. The indoor Victorian station means it's fully covered — no need to worry about the weather.
What You'll Find
The market features a mix of regular and rotating stalls across two platform areas:
- Vintage and retro — clothing, homeware, records, and furniture
- Jewellery and accessories — handmade and antique pieces
- Antiques and collectables — bric-a-brac, books, and curiosities
- Art and crafts — local artists and makers
- Street food — pizza, burgers, curry, toasties, kebabs, and international cuisine
- Local produce — baked goods, preserves, and seasonal items
The mix changes week to week as one-off stallholders rotate in alongside the regulars. The market also hosts special events throughout the year, including regular Farmers' Markets, an annual book fair, and dedicated Christmas markets.
Getting There
By Metro: Tynemouth station is on the Tyne and Wear Metro network. Take the coast line from Newcastle (around 25 minutes from Monument). The market is literally inside the station — step off the Metro and you're there. This is the easiest and cheapest option.
By car: Paid parking is available on the west side of the station. Arrive early on sunny weekends — spaces fill up fast. Side streets in the surrounding area offer some additional parking, but read the restrictions carefully.
By bus: Several bus routes serve Tynemouth village. The Go North East service from Newcastle runs regularly at weekends.
Tips for Visitors
Arrive early. The best vintage finds go quickly, and the food stalls are freshest at opening. By noon on a sunny Saturday it's shoulder-to-shoulder.
Bring cash. Many stalls accept card payments, but some smaller vendors are cash-only. There's no ATM inside the station.
Dogs are welcome. The market is dog-friendly, though it can get crowded in the aisles during peak times.
Combine it with the coast. Tynemouth Priory, Longsands Beach, and the village's cafes and pubs are all within a short walk. Make a morning of the market and an afternoon of the coast.
Check for special events. The Farmers' Market runs on the first weekend of most months, with a dedicated selection of local food producers alongside the regular stalls. The Christmas markets in December are particularly popular.
