Belfast's population reached around 348,000 in 2025, with the wider Belfast City Region closer to 1.13 million — by far the largest urban area in Northern Ireland.
Aunt Sandra's, and yellowman
Aunt Sandra's Candy Factory has been making sweets in Belfast since 1953, and it's a genuine institution — best known for yellowman, a chewy, toffee-style honeycomb that's a proper Northern Irish specialty most of the rest of the UK has never encountered. You'll find their sweets at St George's Market, which has run for over 130 years and comes to life every weekend with independent traders, alongside stalls like Jam & Olly's and Gold & Browne's for other treats.
Still a market stall, not a wholesaler
Seventy-odd years of trading is a real achievement, but Aunt Sandra's is set up for weekend market visitors buying a bag, not a business ordering trade cases or a wedding needing a vegan-specific or halal-friendly range sorted in bulk.
Why that still means ordering online for volume
For anything beyond market-stall quantities, ordering online and having it delivered works exactly the same in Belfast as anywhere else in the UK — no separate customs process or extra cost, just standard delivery.
25,000+ customers, and counting
