Doolin Farmers Market

Doolin
10:00am ~ 4:00pm
Every Saturday
June to August

Farmers Markets have sprung up in many towns and villages over the past few years. If you're visiting The West of Ireland chances are on most Saturdays and Sundays in the summer months you will find a market near you.

Doolin Saturday Market and Craft Fair is usually an indoor market that takes place at the Michael Russell Centre or the Doolin Hotel grounds. The stalls have home grown produce and baked goods to fill your bags for sure. If you're a visitor to Doolin or Ireland you may be able to find some unique gifts or memorabilia to take home with you.  Hand crafted pottery, woodwork, jewelry and other small accessories are also on display.

One good tip to remember when you're planning on going to the market, don't eat a big breakfast! You may not be able to pass up the fresh goods.
