This December, in the heart of Inchicore, Richmond Barracks will host a Christmas Fair filled with lots of festivities.

Following on from the success of our Harvest Fair, we would like to hear from a diverse array of local businesses, craftspeople and vendors who are interested in taking a stall at our Christmas Fair.

The Christmas Fair will have workshops to attend, entertainment to enjoy, food to feast on and a variety of items such as art, clothing, crafts, design and gift options available to buy.

Visitors will be invited to drop in and browse stalls from local businesses, craftspeople and artists, with lots of unique gifts and Christmas things to buy. People can also try something new at our various family friendly workshops for all ages and enjoy the festive music, hot drinks and treats.

Our fairs are well attended and popular locally, with creative workshops, eclectic entertainment and great food and drink options for people to enjoy.

"Based in the historically significant area, this is my favourite market to attend / sell at in Dublin. There is just the right amount of stalls, food and activities to pass the day without being over or underwhelmed. Recommend 100%." - Banba Ireland

"A beautiful venue for a fair with a lot of work put into making it enjoyable for young and old, buyers and sellers and locals and visitors alike" - Soap Obsessed

Criteria

We are looking for vendors for our inside market shopping area who sell Christmas-related or gift-related goods and food vendors for the garden area that use seasonal produce and winter-warming dishes.

We will select, from applications received, a range of products and gift ware that will be suitable for the Christmas season. We will look for:

Local businesses / makers / enterprises / artists
Those who share a real interest in sustainability and environmentally friendly produce

Those who take a table in our Gymnasium space get a 6ft trestle table and display walls to help display their products to the best possible advantage.

We also invite food and drink vendors to get in touch. We have outdoor spaces in our garden for food trucks, coffee stands, and food vendors.
