Derry's Society Street Market to host outdoor market free for local traders

Derry's Society Street Indoor Market is the only independent market in the North West and it is set to host an outdoor market later this month.

Established in 2018 by manager Duncan Curry, the indoor market now houses over 25 different outlets.

Set within the historic walls, the market hosts a number of small local businesses and traders.

Fresh locally sourced vegetables, artisan foods. quirky antiques and locally handcrafted products are just some of the products available to purchase.

Now, the organisers of the indoor market are set to host an outdoor market, free for local traders, on Society Street on March 25.

At no cost to traders, a decision made due to the current economic climate, Duncan says he hopes they can host it once a month to allow for more independent traders to have space to sell locally.

"We have a waiting list of stall holders already for the outdoor market," Duncan said.

"We have been working on this project for the past few months and we can finally confirm for the first time in quite a few years there will be a traditional street market inside the city walls.
