Was really disappointed with Market - it has major potential but there aren't enough stalls!!! Its not worth the visit!

There was a guy in a chief's jacket selling cake. I don't know if he is always there. The rest of the market is terrible though...

Hi lads and ladies, give us a break. The market is only going a short while. it's going to be quiet this time of year due to hols etc. As for the lack of traders, well there vare alot of outdoor markets at the moment but i'm convinced that come winter the market will be packed with all sorts ofv traders, otherwise i wouldn't br there every week with my pet stall. As for the cake, yes i agree its fab, so lads don't be put off by first impressions give us a chance, support local, support small home grown business

Apart from the cake stall & the pet stall, what else is currently there?

I pass by that area about twice a month, keep seeing the signs & tempted to go for a look.

is there an entrance fee?

petstop

No entrance fee, there are anteques, brick a brack, face painting, various food and cheeses stalls, household goods, tea and coffee, carboot sale, so there is a wide and varied selection of godsk, hope to see you there soon

Hello all,

Is this on every Sunday?

I've been to munster market. It's open every sunday 11-5. I'm really into food stalls and the food there is really good. The cakes are amazing, especially this chocolate truffle cake - yum yum. There is a brilliant cheese stall as well and a great veg stall. Some people that own restaurants sell some of their branded goods too. There is a lot of stalls there other than food like the pet stall, furniture, antiques, toys, painting, jewellery, clothes, handbags and a blacksmith that makes beautiful gates and candle holders etc.

I do think it needs more stalls as well but I reckon it will get busier once the winter sets in as it's all covered by a roof which will come in handy in the lovely Irish weather

I bet if they get the stalls it will be pretty awesome around christmas time (at least I hope so because I live nearby and it will be great to get a lot of my stuff for christmas here instead of battling the traffic and fighting to get a parking space in town). Parking is free too which is a big bonus.

Like the guy with the pet stall said, in the current economic situation it's good to support local people so lets try not to be so negative guys!!

The market is in Cratloekeel,Co Clare.

Your best bet due to the road works if you are heading from limerick from at LIT roundabout go to the old Cratloe Road keep on that road you will eventually see a sign for the Market. Its the old ball bearing factory building.

The word of the cake must be spreading as she was sold out of the Choc Truffle by the time I got there! But the brownies were MMMmmmmmmm.:D

It looks like it is getting bigger all the time with a few people telling me it was only the first or second week they were there.

Took a few pics they are up -[ Here ]

Sounds like a great idea.Hopfully if they keep out all the crappy and tacky stuff,travellers and other bad traders selling fake/poor quality stuff.Please tell me your not selling pets from a market??

I visited the market recently as was very impressed on the amount of stalls there were compared to 2 months ago.

Very nice man there sells chickens, ducks and accessories etc. Got myself 4 hens!!

The weather was real bad on my last visit so was glad that 95% of it was indoors. If you take time to have a good look around you will find some real interesting people selling quality items.

I found a little gallery tucked away at the back of the main hall selling some really good canvas photos of Clare and Connemara. Also a lovely knitwear stall. Yes the food stalls are a must and some very nice sausages and lamb chops at a very reasonable price.

Small stalls selling home-made cards for birthdays etc.

Yes i agree there is some tatt there but hopefully the more quality stalls will outnumber and make up for this

Hmm, I'd never heard of the market before. I might take a visit out there myself sometime.

There is an indoor Christmas Market on tomorrow Sat 5th at The Organic College, Dromcollogher, Co. Limerick from 2-5 pm.
It should be very good family day out. The students have done loads to prepare for it, and have invited many local producers sellling yummy produce.
There will be live music and face-painting for kids.
It promises to be a really good day out. Hope lots of people support it.
There will be lots of bargains and fun.
