The Quayside Market a centuries old market (no-one seems quite sure exactly when it first started) held on the historical Quayside, beneath the Tyne Bridge, is a popular Sunday destination for locals and tourists alike. Some simply come to browse or stroll by the riverfront but there is many a bargain to be found amongst the Quayside market's 200 diverse stalls selling clothes, books, pictures, CDs and much more. There are plenty of food stalls if you are peckish and plenty of pubs if you are thirsty some of which open early to serve breakfast.
