About Time Out Market
Time Out Market is the world’s first editorially curated food and cultural market, bringing a city’s best chefs, restaurateurs, and cultural experiences together under one roof. From award-winning chefs to much-loved local gems, from cooking classes with top chefs to installations from local artists and live entertainment, Time Out Market captures and celebrates the best of the city.
The first Time Out Market opened in 2014 in a historic market hall in Lisbon, quickly turning into one of the most popular destinations in the city. The success of Lisbon brought further expansion and the portfolio currently includes ten Markets in cities such as New York, Montreal, Dubai and Cape Town, several new locations with expected opening dates in 2025 and beyond, in addition to a pipeline of further locations in advanced discussions. While this is now a concept popular across several cities, the execution of each Market is distinctly local.
Time Out Market is part of Time Out Group PLC (AIM: TMO), a brand that inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city through Time Out Media and Time Out Market. Time Out launched in London in 1968 to help people discover the exciting new urban cultures that had started up all over the city – today it is the only global brand dedicated to city life. Expert journalists curate and create content about the best things to do, see and eat across 333 cities in 59 countries, shared across a unique multi-platform model spanning both digital and physical channels including websites, mobile, social media, video, audio, newsletters, live events and Time Out Market.
