The highlight of Time Out Market Barcelona is undoubtedly the food (and the drinks) but the market has a lot more to offer than just eating and drinking. Its two stages showcase the incredible talent of the city with live performances ranging from intimate concerts to drag shows, as well as DJ sessions and activities for kids. And, as with everything at the Market, it’s all carefully curated by the editorial team at Time Out Barcelona! You’ll find all the Market’s latest events, right here.

Did you enjoy the tapas crawl on Wednesdays? Wednesdays still taste better than ever at Time Out Market Barcelona.

Celebrate World Croquette Day at Time Out Market in the best possible way: by eating them! On January 15, 16, and 17, you’ll be able to enjoy 8 different interpretations of this traditional dish, prepared by renowned chefs and available for just €2.5 each. No reservation is needed—just come whenever hunger strikes and enjoy these little gems made fresh to order (perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack in between).

Croquettes for everyone

Darvaza once again proves its mastery of fine frying with two high-level creations: one croquette made with dry-aged ribeye and caramelized piquillo pepper, and another featuring veal cheek, tender and intensely flavorful. Fran Lópezstays true to well-executed classics with a ham croquette that’s creamy on the inside, rich in flavor, and packed with generous chunks you can taste in every bite, while also adding a vegan escalivada option that is smooth, aromatic, and full of the character of roasted vegetables. Meanwhile, Can Ros moves between sea and forest, offering a croquette of squid and another of mushrooms, two versions that play with familiar textures and flavors, executed with great finesse.

The celebration also includes two recipes closely tied to Catalan tradition, reinterpreted in a crispy format: asparagus, served with white asparagus sauce, cream, and green asparagus crudité, and escudella, a traditional escudella velouté from Casa Amàlia transformed into a crunchy bite. This is a style of cooking designed especially for children, yet one that wins over all ages, focused on croquettes and easy-to-enjoy bites.

We know that cooking this bite of the gods properly is no easy task. So stop making croquettes at home and enjoy them in expert hands and a unique setting: Time Out Market is a design-driven space surrounded by the sea of Barcelona.

The year begins, bringing with it magic and excitement for new challenges. What better way to harness the momentum of new beginnings than with a day where the impossible becomes possible? On January 31, Time Out Market hosts a full-day event that starts with magic workshops for children and adults and continues with a Magic Tasting, where the Market’s grand gastronomic experience is enhanced with close-up magic performances by top professional magicians.

Magic workshops for all ages

In the morning, the wand is in your hands. From 11 am to 12 pm, it’s the youngest members of the family’s turn, with workshops aimed at children aged 8 and up, which the rest of the family can also attend. From 12 pm to 1 pm, adults take over with workshops tailored for those who also want to learn how to perform magic tricks.

All sessions are led by magician David València, a leading figure in Barcelona’s magic scene, renowned both for his artistic career and for his ability to share knowledge and passion for the art of illusion.

Magic Tasting


From 7 pm to 9 pm, you become both spectators and diners. The Magic Tasting combines the Market’s rich culinary offerings with live close-up magic. Throughout the evening, you’ll be amazed by roaming performances from three well-known professional magicians — Álvaro Oreja, Mag Jan, and Óscar Sánchez — who will infuse the entire dinner with magic.

Tickets

For the magic workshops, both children’s and adult sessions are priced at €12 and include access to the activity, all necessary materials to follow the workshop, and one drink of choice (water, soft drink, juice, or beer). Workshops are limited to a maximum of 15 people per session, so be sure to get your tickets here!

For the Magic Tasting, you can attend with a free ticket that grants access to the performances, or choose a €6 ticket that includes a pack with one drink of choice (water, beer, or soft drink) and a snack. Reservations are required here!

A unique opportunity to experience the art of illusionism from the inside — learning its secrets in the morning and enjoying it live while dining in the evening — at an event held in collaboration with the Vila Màgica Organization – Barcelona International Magic Festival. Are you ready for the magic?

  • Music
  • El Gòtic

Winter calls for jazz, and we didn’t want to miss out on bringing that festive soundscape to the Market. That’s why, on January 30 at 8 PM, we’re inviting you to a free concert featuring two outstanding musicians who bring strings and wind together in unison: the piano in the hands of Lídia Facerías, and the voice and trumpet guided by Memi Sillah. You just need to reserve a spot here (and if you wish, you can add a drink with chips for 6 euros).

The pianist from the traditional folk group Roba Estesa and the soul band Soundara Collective will let her fingers travel through jazz filigrees, joined by singer and trumpet player Sillah, who leads her own band and is used to sprinkling Jamaican rhythms over the harmonies of the American genre. A slightly more spiced and distinctive jazz concert that will brighten your evening as they move up and down between scales.
