Make Collinstown market part of your Mother's Day celebration

The vibrant Collinstown market has become a regular meeting place for locals and visitors, and the next one will be a particular attraction, as it’s on Mother’s Day, Sunday March 15.

Held every second Sunday from 11.30am to 1.30pm at the local hall, Collinstown Farmers Market showcases the best of local produce and crafts.

It offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, as visitors browse handcrafted items such as jewellery, crochet, woodwork and handmade soaps. Outside are colourful stalls selling freshly baked bread, focaccia, tray bakes, and other treats as well as seasonal vegetables, eggs, preserves and chutneys produced by local farmers and artisans.

For many in the local community, and beyond, the market in the opportunity to support small producers and sustainable food systems while enjoying a social morning. Families often gather for coffee and snacks while children can enjoy the nearby playground, creating a friendly environment that reflects the community spirit of the area.

With Mother’s Day on March 15, the market offers the perfect place to pick up gifts. Handmade crafts, artisan food hampers, or locally produced beauty products are great alternatives to mass-produced presents. A visit to the market can also become part of the day, a relaxed Sunday outing where families can browse the stalls, sample local flavours and enjoy the atmosphere together.
