The popular Tiny Traders Village will become a fixture of Eyre Square each weekend for the coming weeks.
The extremely popular artisan market is a wonderful place to find a dozen varieties of food, art, jewellery, and much much more.
Shoppers are sure to salivate over stalls of sweets, sourdough breads, spicy meats and many other sweet and savoury sensations.
In recent times the village has moved around a lot, from Nuns Island Theatre to the Spanish Arch and other spots.
But now you can be sure to find it in Eyre Square from Friday to Sunday each weekend until the end of October.
A major success story for the community of local artisans came with the selection of Galway Fairytales to represent us at the National Ploughing Championships this year.
Galway Fairytales, who are supported by Local Enterprise Office Galway, is a publisher and author of educational Irish storytelling books for children aged 5 -12 years.
They all focus on children’s wellbeing and social issues, such as bullying, friendship and kindness, teamwork, coping with anxiety, family break up and much more.
The Renmore-based business is run by Martha Begley Schade, who has written 12 books, all of which are currently being translated into the Irish language.
Tiny Traders Village announnced on social media that due to the “universally positive feedback” their events have gotten, they got the green light to set up extend their stay in Eyre Square.
“We’re so happy to share this news with you all and we thank galway city council for giving us the opportunity, recognition and support.”
“Most importantly we would like to thank each and every one of you for your consistent support and good will.”
“Thank you all so much and hopefully see many of you over the weekend.”
You can find these Tiny Traders and their amazing wares set up in Eyre Square from 11am – 5pm, Friday to Saturday.
