The Barras & Barrowland Ballroom
The Barras
A century-old weekend flea market in the East End. Next door, the Barrowland Ballroom, with its neon sign, is a legendary rock venue.
The Barras market began in the 1920s and typically opens on Saturdays and Sundays from about 10:00 to 16:00. Its stalls sell second-hand goods, antiques and street food, and in recent years art spaces and craft beer bars have moved into the surrounding area. The neighbouring Barrowland Ballroom, famous for its starry neon sign, is regarded by many bands as one of Britain's best venues, and it is busiest on evenings with performances. It is located around Gallowgate, so keep an eye on your belongings.
