Emo Village Farmers Market

Emo Village Farmers Market runs every Sunday from 11am to 4pm in the grounds of Emo Court, with the next market on Sunday, 26 July 2026. Local food and craft producers set up around the parkland of the historic estate, giving the market one of the more scenic settings for a weekly shop in Laois. Emo Court itself is an OPW-run neoclassical house and demesne, so the market operates inside grounds that are already a well-known local landmark rather than a car park or town square.

What to expect

A mix of food stalls, ranging from fresh produce and baked goods to preserves and artisan foods, alongside craft producers selling their own work. Through the year the market also runs occasional craft workshops, cooking demonstrations and wine tasting sessions alongside the regular stalls, so it is worth checking what is on for a specific Sunday if that is the draw. The setting inside Emo Court’s parklands, with the demesne’s tree-lined walks and the OPW house itself nearby, makes it as much a Sunday outing as a shopping trip, and it is a popular spot for a walk before or after browsing the stalls. It runs year-round rather than as a seasonal market, so it is a reliable weekly fixture rather than a one-off event.

Getting there

Emo Court is just outside Emo village, signposted from the R419. Parking is available on site within the demesne grounds, and the wider estate has its own network of walking trails through the parkland for anyone making a longer visit of it.

While you’re in Emo

Emo Court itself is worth a walk around before or after the market. There is more to see in Emo and across Co. Laois.
