Tynemouth Station Festive Market
The weekly market under Tynemouth's restored Victorian station glass roof takes on a festive character through December, with over 150 stalls of gifts, crafts, food and vintage finds.
About This Event
Tynemouth Station Market trades every Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 3:30pm beneath the glass canopy of the Grade II* listed Victorian station. In the run-up to Christmas the market swells with seasonal stalls selling handmade gifts, decorations, artisan food, vintage and antiques, making it one of the North East coast's most popular festive browsing spots. Across December 2026 the market runs every weekend in the run-up to Christmas: 5-6, 12-13 and 19-20 December. It does not trade on Christmas Day, so check the market's own channels before visiting over the Boxing Day weekend. Entry is free and the covered platforms keep shoppers out of the coastal weather. The station sits directly on the Tyne and Wear Metro yellow line, so visitors can arrive car-free, and there are cafes and food stalls on the platforms for a festive lunch while browsing. Shoppers are advised to arrive early for the busiest pre-Christmas weekends.
