Galway Market at St. Nicholas
An iconic weekend market that has run for centuries. A vibrant tapestry of food, crafts, art, and community. Try the famous hot crepes, buy fresh local cheese, or chat with local craftsmen.
When and where
Galway Market at St. Nicholas meets every Sunday at 8:00 AM. It meets at Lombard Street (by St. Nicholas' Collegiate Church), Galway City Centre, Co. Galway.
Times and venues do move, particularly at the start of a new season and around bank holidays, so it is worth confirming the next date with the group before travelling.
What to expect
Galway Market at St. Nicholas is a regular market rather than a club, so there is nothing to join and nobody to sign up with. Traders set up in the morning and the best selection is early; by the last hour some stalls have packed up.
Bring a bag and some cash. Card is widely accepted now but not universally, and a few traders still prefer cash for small amounts.
Trader lineups change week to week and with the seasons, so what is on the stalls in February is not what is there in August.
Who it suits
Anyone shopping for local food and produce. No membership, no commitment, just turn up.
