Street Market brings flavours of the continent to Plymouth

The International Street Market, which has swept Scandinavia with a feast of foodie fun, is on its way to Plymouth’s City Centre on 10 to 13 March. 

The market will be open from 10am to 6pm on Thursday 10 March to Saturday 12 March and 11am to 5pm on Sunday 13 March.

Traders from around the world will be on hand to display the best products that their respective countries have to offer. From bespoke craft items, to hot food traders from around the world, the International Street Market will have it all.

Over 25 traders will be present selling the best of the continent’s gastronomic delights and craft items. The food on offer will range from crepes and cakes for those with a sweet tooth, to barbecued treats for those craving a meat feast as well as authentic Chinese street food.

Run by Groupe Geraud, the largest market operator in Europe, the International Street Market programme has been running successfully across Sweden and the UK and the market team is working in partnership with Plymouth City Centre Company to bring the market to Plymouth.

Groupe Geraud’s John McInnes said: “The international street market has been a big hit in Europe thanks to the atmosphere and buzz it creates and we are sure it will go down a treat as it tours the UK.”

Jon Walton, City Centre Manager, said: “With the imminent arrival of the first day of spring, it’s inevitable that many people’s minds are starting to turn towards outdoors pursuits and healthy eating. Shoppers will be able to enjoy all the sights, smells and tastes of a bustling continental market in addition to our popular Plymouth City Market.”
