Summer is officially arriving because May 8 marks the arrival of The Neighbourgood Market in Stockbridge, one of our favourite places to spend sunny days in Edinburgh. Located near Inverleith Park directly behind The Raeburn, the market has a food festival vibe where several food trucks will be selling their best street food alongside alcohol favourites and local bars.
The Neighbourgood Market will stay in the heart of Stockbridge between May 8 and July 31 this year, open from 12pm until 10pm from Wednesday to Sunday every week. To access the market, just head onto Portgower Place towards Inverleith Park and you will see an entrance on the left-hand side if walking from The Raeburn.
The venture started in 2020 as a means to social distancing outdoors, yet it has proven to be such a success among the community, it (thankfully) stayed for good.
The entry is free on weekdays and cost £3 last year (the price is yet to be confirmed for 2024) to get in during the weekend on Saturdays and Sundays.
Now, onto the most exciting part, the food vendors. While the full list is yet to be announced, last year we saw Mimi’s Bakehouse on-site treating visitors with the best of their bakes, as well as The Jingle Bus, Edinburgh’s oldest Indian restaurant. Wing Theory makes all of your chicken wing dreams come true, while Antojitos had the Mexican street food vibes on point.
Guests could also enjoy Innis & Gunn truck serving the perfect pours in 2023, so on top of hoping they’re back again, we expect there will be plenty of other spots to grab drinks from, such as coffee, wine, all the Aperol Spritzes, rum or gin. Market-goers need to keep checking their Instagram page to find out the upcoming vendors line-up for 2024. So, we cannot wait to start the Summer off right at The Neighbourgood Market.
