Ennis Farmers Market - Weekly Friday Market

What to Expect

Ennis Farmers Market fills the car park at Roslevan Shopping Centre on the Tulla Road every Friday from 8am to 1pm, and is the county town’s main weekly outdoor market. The rule the market sets for its traders is that everything sold has to be produced within Clare or within a 30-mile radius, which keeps the stalls genuinely local rather than a resale market for bought-in goods. On a typical Friday that means handcrafted sourdough and other home baking, free-range eggs, organic seasonal vegetables, artisan cheese, vegetarian and vegan products, locally sourced meat and free-range pork, jams, sauces and meat pies, plus fresh-cut flowers and seasonal vegetable plants for the garden. Several stalls sell hot food to eat on the spot, including coffee and speciality teas, falafel, quiche and sausage rolls, so the market doubles as a breakfast or lunch stop as much as a weekly shop. It operates rain or shine, every Friday year-round, and has built up a loyal following among Ennis shoppers who plan their week’s fresh food around it. The market is fully wheelchair accessible with free on-site parking, making it an easy stop for anyone already using the shopping centre. As the market serving Clare’s largest town, it is generally the biggest and busiest of the county’s weekly farmers markets, with a wider spread of stalls than the smaller village markets in West and North Clare.
