What's on at the Market?

Vermouth is a weekend ritual, and what better way to toast at the Market with a great conversation in the background while enjoying a drink with your group of friends? The El Vermut radio show hosted by Llucià Ferrer (Flaixbac) is setting up its studio at the Time Out Market on Saturday, May 16, from 12 PM to 2 PM, broadcasting live with three special guests: Julio Manrique, Alosa and La Pegatina. Best of all? It’s free! Tickets are sold out, but you still have a chance to get them through the Instagram Stories giveaway (until Sunday, May 10).

The show is a weekend magazine program focused on light current affairs, trends, and pop culture in a relaxed atmosphere, always with humor and a festive spirit. It is hosted by Llucià Ferrer, a Catalan journalist and presenter known for his career in radio and television, especially for his approachable, spontaneous, and easygoing style that connects so well with audiences.

This edition of the show will feature La Pegatina, one of the most popular bands on the Catalan party music scene thanks to their mix of rumba, ska, and Latin rhythms; Alosa, an emerging act from the Catalan music scene with contemporary folk and pop sounds; and Julio Manrique, an actor and director recognized as one of the leading figures in contemporary Catalan theatre. If you’ve always wanted to attend a live radio show, this is your chance! Are you in?

📍 And remember: from time to time, the market also hosts many other free activities you’ll love, including concerts, performances, and activities for children.

Attention, Culés! If you’re looking for the ultimate spot to cheer on Barça, you’ve come to the right place. We screen each and every club match live and for free on our giant screen!

And take note: for the Clásico on Sunday, May 10th –one of the most important games of the season– we are offering two options. On one hand, there is the premium experience for 35 euros, where you can enjoy the Barça–Madrid match from a private room with a terrace, table service, and a special menu designed so you don't miss a single play. On the other hand, you can also join the open atmosphere of the Market to watch the game for free with a full football vibe and the best gastronomy in the city, featuring 20-euro menus available at our various kitchens.

This May, we have two editions of El Tardet x Time Out Market –an evening "tardeo" with DJs, humor, and plenty of surprises! This party offers the perfect atmosphere to meet new people or have a blast with your crew, surrounded by drinks and music, all without having to sacrifice a whole night’s sleep!

The evening kicks off with a short show by Las Pájaras, a comedy duo who will handle the warm–up at 7:30 p.m., dressed in vintage style and ready to win you over with their bold charm. Their performance will make way for the DJ starting at 9 p.m., with the decks spinning until the end of the night.

The spirit of El Tardet –famous for organizing the spiciest "tardeos" in the city– will be felt throughout the Market, featuring a rumba concert and a fun raffle with prizes for attendees, hosted by Las Pájaras. 

Spring is in full bloom, and we all want to dive into it headfirst. Come and do just that at the best time of day at Time Out Market, with a perfectly crafted Aperol Spritz or Crodino and background music to make the experience truly sublime.

Every Saturday in May, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., the Xaloc terrace becomes the ultimate aperitivo setting, with the Barcelona sea right before your eyes. It’s a space to let the midday hours drift by without a care, with well-served drinks, an Espinaler appetizer, and just the right amount of sunshine to make you want to linger a little longer.

Get your shoulder pads and hairspray ready, because on May 22nd, Time Out Market Barcelona is turning into a time machine to travel back to the most iconic decade of all: the '80s.

The master of ceremonies will be the divine Pitita Queen. The winner of Drag Race España will host this Musical Bingo with her unique style, in a show full of glamour, humor, and high energy. She’ll be the one getting us all dancing while we hunt for hits by Madonna, Queen, or Michael Jackson on our bingo cards.

Can’t eat gluten? Whether you’re intolerant, allergic, or coeliac (three different conditions — and yes, we know the difference!), you’ll always find options at Time Out Market Barcelona, especially at The Fish & Chips Shop. But this May, there will be even more — and at special prices — because May 15 is International Gluten-Free Day, and we couldn’t miss it! Join the celebration with a full menu for just €18 on May 5, 12, 19, and 26. Reserve it here and pay once you arrive at the Time Out Market.

Gluten-free menu

The proposal is a full menu that starts with two appetizers to kick things off: a Taco California and a fresh, balanced coleslaw. It continues with the star of the house — a crispy and light fish & chips, thanks to its gluten-free batter. To finish, a sweet touch with a lemon pie that provides the perfect ending. All for €18, with excellent value for money.

Throughout the month of May, new gluten-free dishes will also be added to the menu and menu board, and all gluten-free options will be more clearly labeled to make choosing even easier and safer.

The Fish & Chips Shop

The name says it all: a restaurant that pays tribute to one of Britain’s most iconic dishes. But there’s an interesting twist. The Fish & Chips Shop at Time Out Market Barcelona, in Port Vell, offers a completely gluten-free concept that reinterprets this classic in a lighter, more inclusive way.

Founded by brothers Mani Alam and Magid Alam, the project is built around a unique technique: a chestnut-smoked tempura batter that skips wheat entirely, using a blend of chickpea and corn flours with cereal flakes. The result? An incredibly crispy coating around fresh hake or cod. All served in generous portions and rooted in Indo-Pakistani culinary influences that move away from heavier, greasier versions. Are you in?

📍 Not sure what to do this month? Here’s the full Time Out Market program.

On April 17th, we have a new edition of El Tardet x Time Out Market & Aperol, a "tardeo" (afternoon party) with DJs, humor, and plenty of surprises! This party has the perfect atmosphere to meet new people or have a blast with your crew, surrounded by drinks and music—and best of all, without having to sacrifice your entire night's sleep!

Do you love dancing salsa? Come to Time Out Market! Every Saturday, from 7 PM to 10 PM, we host a massive dance floor for you to move with other Latin music fans. And take note: as a new spring special, we’re taking advantage of the good weather to hold the party on one of the coolest terraces in the Market (and in Barcelona): the Mestral.
