You’ll meet plenty of characters and you never know what bargains you might find too!

It’s a unique and historical market and home to many specialist shops, making it a great place to explore.

The original market was destroyed by firebombs in 1974 during ‘The Troubles’ and it would be 15 years before it reopened in its current location. With all this in the pipeline, Clodagh Cassin, Markets Development Manager with Belfast City Council, is hopeful for the future of the area. "So you can get really anything you want in here from picture framing and rugs to toy models and combat gear. There's something here for everyone. It's a busy little gem in the heart of Belfast city centre.

Gary McCann, proprietor of the Army Surplus Store, is the third generation of his family to trade at Smithfield. “If you have that footfall then people will buy from you, once they find you and particularly if they find something quirky that they like. "We have a very loyal clientele with a lot of repeat customers as well as a lot of people coming to us through recommendation and word of mouth. It's not just Belfast as we have people coming to us from Glengormley, Newtownards and down south.Sam also enjoys the family aspect of being one of the Smithfield Market traders.

These days it's the ideal spot to grab a coffee and a chat or pick up the latest single-issue releases, graphic novels and other comic book merchandise.
