This very popular attraction will include a host of local musicians and
as always all profits made in the “Budweiser Beer Tent” will
contribute to the ongoing success of future festivals.
The market boasts a glorious selection of gifts and produce from all over Ireland, some of the traders have been coming every year with their unique range of quality Irish gifts and new traders are welcomed every year so there is always something different to see.
Hand crafted ceramics and Celtic jewellery are always popular, along with traditional Irish produce such as home baked soda bread, savoury pies and cakes; cheeses, fudge and truffles, bringing a taste of Ireland to the cobbles of Albert Square.
