Frequently asked questions

When do Christmas markets start in Ireland?

Most begin in mid to late November and run through December, with some continuing into early January.

How do I apply for a stall?

Open a market listing and use its vendor application. Markets showing an Open for vendors badge are currently accepting applications.

Do I need insurance to trade?

Requirements vary by organiser. Most ask for public liability insurance, and food traders usually need EHO registration. Check the individual market listing before applying.

Is it free to list a market?

Yes. Listing a market on MarketsIreland.ie is free, and you can open vendor applications from the same listing.

Christmas markets in Ireland

Irish Christmas markets run from roughly mid-November until a day or two before Christmas. The larger city markets run continuously for four to six weeks, while smaller community markets often run at weekends only.

For vendors: what to expect

Stall fees vary widely — a community craft market might charge €25–€40 for a day, while a six-week city-centre pitch can run into the hundreds. Most organisers ask for public liability insurance as a minimum, and food vendors additionally need food safety documentation.

Because Christmas markets are seasonal, organisers recruit in one concentrated burst. Missing a deadline usually means waiting a full year.
