Enfield Country Market

What to Expect

Enfield Country Market runs every Friday at Enfield Community Hall, in the west Meath village of Enfield on the R148 corridor between Kilcock and Kinnegad. Like Athboy’s Saturday market, it is part of the Irish Country Markets network, a long-running association of small community markets across Ireland where local growers, bakers and craft makers sell directly to shoppers rather than through a shop or a large commercial stallholder circuit. The format is deliberately modest: a hall full of tables rather than an outdoor event, which makes it a dependable weekly fixture whatever the weather, and a useful stop for anyone living along the busy Dublin-to-west commuter belt who wants proper home baking or local produce without a big shopping trip. Because it runs midweek rather than at the weekend, it draws a different crowd from the Saturday and Sunday markets elsewhere in the county, a mix of regulars doing a weekly shop and passers-by on their way through Enfield on the main west road.
