About this Event
Join us for a guided walking food tour of Halifax Borough Market, sampling dishes and specialties from some of the best eateries and hidden gems in the Halifax area, served up by local independent market traders. Over two hours, you’ll have the chance to savour a curated selection of tastes and flavours from Halifax and around the world, as well as learning about the market’s rich history, dating from the Victorian era to the present day.
Please note: this tour will include a visit to the 'Hop In' Bottle Shop and Bar, where there will be a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic tasters available.

The food varies on each tour but may include: artisanal cheeses, homemade baked goods, award-winning pies, American diner style small plates, authentic Asian food, tasty plant-based dishes, and delicious drinks from around the world.
