Ranelagh Farmers Market

What to Expect

Ranelagh Farmers Market runs every Sunday from 10am to 4pm in the grounds of Ranelagh Multi-Denominational School, one of the longer-running producer markets on Dublin’s southside, having traded since May 2009. It’s a producer-only market, meaning the people behind the stalls are the ones who grew, baked, brewed or made what they’re selling, rather than resellers, which tends to make for a more personal shopping experience and a chance to actually talk to the person who produced your food.

The market is run as a not-for-profit enterprise by a committee of the traders themselves, with the stated aim of giving quality small producers a fair and honest place to sell directly to the public. Expect the usual strong lineup you’d find at a well-established Dublin farmers market: fresh bread and pastries, local vegetables and fruit in season, meat and fish, cheese, and a range of prepared and artisan food and drink, though the exact stallholders on any given Sunday can vary.

Ranelagh itself is one of Dublin’s most walkable southside villages, with a strong café and restaurant scene, so the market makes a natural anchor for a lazy Sunday visit to the area, whether you’re doing a weekly food shop or just browsing. Given its long history and steady following, it’s become something of a fixture for locals, and it’s a good example of the kind of small, community-run market that has quietly persisted through Dublin’s changing food scene.
