Overview It is one of the oldest markets of its kind, operating since 1788. It was in operation before most of the other markets like it. Barcelona's famous Boqueria market did not start until 80 years after The English Market first started to serve the people of Cork. It has survived the Famine, revolutions, wars, fire and economic decline. At The English Market, you'll find a delicious range of excellent food stalls including Organic Food, Fresh Fruit and Vegetables, Seafood, poultry and snack stands. It's a must for all visitors wishing to taste the finest fresh food Cork has to offer. If you're travelling to Cork, then check out i Hotels Cork for the best value on Hotels near the English Market.
