This year’s Christmas edition of the Collinstown market is on Sunday next, November 24, between 11am and 4pm. The regular market is once a fortnight and it’s always well supported. Many regular customers do their weekend shopping for quality produce there and always go home happy.

This weekend, customers will find raw milk, perfect for Santa on Christmas Eve, a large selection of cheeses, award winning preserves and relishes. There will be gifts for everyone, from quilted crafts, crocheted and knitted products, to festive floral wreaths, candles, jewellery and beauty products. They can order their Christmas turkeys on the day too.

Santa’s arrival is always a highlight and customers and traders keep a watch to see what form of transport he uses. The younger visitors will be able to see him from 3pm.

There will be fresh hot beverages and delicious hot food from Lough Owel organic farm – there is no burger like a Joe Brady burger!

It’s on Sunday November 24, 11am-4pm, and it’s indoors and outdoors.
