Your first week in West End
A few useful starting points for everyday life, from the library to the Saturday market.
Start with the Saturday market
West End Markets trades at Davies Park on the corner of Montague Road and Jane Street. The organiser lists 6am–2pm from March to November and 6am–1pm from December to February.
Check the organiser’s trading updates before leaving. Individual stall attendance can change, so confirm directly if there is a particular vendor you need.

Orleigh Park, at 68 Hill End Terrace, has playgrounds, picnic facilities, toilets and a designated dog off-leash area. It is a separate destination from Davies Park.

The market organiser warns that parking can be limited and suggests alternatives including public transport and cycling. Plan the return journey as well as the arrival.
Use Translink’s West End ferry terminal page for current ferry information. Check authority notices after severe weather before heading to the river.
