Newcastle's city population sits at around 324,000, with the wider metro area closer to 834,000 — one of the most densely populated cities in the North East.
The Grainger Market's sweet stalls
Newcastle's Grainger Market has been trading since 1835, and it's home to two proper independent sweet specialists: World of Sweets, stocking everything from classic British Jelly Babies and Sherbet Lemons to Japanese and American imports, and Pat's Kandy Bar, an old-fashioned traditional sweet stall. Nearly 200 years of continuous trading is a genuinely unusual thing for a UK market, and it's put sweets at the centre of it for most of that time.
What that history doesn't cover
Market stalls, however established, are built around jars and bags sold in person — not 3kg bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges, or halal-friendly selections put together for a business order. Eldon Square, Newcastle's other main retail centre with around 140 stores, doesn't fill that gap either — it's arranged around fashion and food, not confectionery.
Why bulk orders in Newcastle still go online
For anything beyond a market-stall bag, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent route — no trip to Grainger Market required.
