Enniscorthy Farmers' Market

What to Expect

Enniscorthy Farmers’ Market sets up every Saturday morning on Abbey Square, just off Mill Park Road in central Enniscorthy, a short walk from Enniscorthy Castle and the River Slaney. It is one of the longer-established markets in County Wexford and has a strong local reputation as a launchpad for small food producers, several of whom are said to have started out with a single trestle table here before growing into full-time businesses that now supply shops and restaurants across the county. Regular stallholders include Meylers, the Wexford town fishmonger, selling fresh fish and shellfish, and O’Neills Bacon with cured and cooked meats, alongside fruit and vegetable growers, home bakers and craft sellers. The exact line-up shifts week to week depending on the season and what growers have ready that morning, so a summer Saturday typically brings more fresh vegetables and soft fruit than a winter one, while home baking, jams and preserves tend to be a constant. Locals often combine a visit with the rest of their Saturday shopping in the town centre, since the market sits close to the main streets and shops.
