Roscommon Farmers Market

Roscommon Farmers Market sets up in Market Square every Friday from 10am to 2pm, giving the town a weekly source of fresh, locally produced food that runs year round regardless of season. It is a genuinely working market rather than a craft fair dressed up as one, with growers, bakers and small food producers from around the county selling directly rather than through a shop, and it has become a fixture of the Friday routine for a good number of townspeople who plan their shopping around it. The next market falls on Friday, 7 August 2026.

What to expect

Stalls typically include fresh fruit and vegetables, free range and organic eggs, artisan breads and home baking, fresh fish, and meat from local producers, alongside a smaller number of craft and non food stalls depending on the week. The market runs outdoors in Market Square in the middle of the town, so it has a proper open air atmosphere with vendors calling out and regulars stopping to chat as much as shop. It is a small market rather than a sprawling one, so it is easy to walk the full length of it in ten or fifteen minutes, though most people take longer once they start talking to stallholders. Cash is generally the safest bet for smaller producers, though card payment is increasingly available at some stalls. There is no admission charge, you simply pay for what you buy on the day.

Getting there

Market Square is in the centre of Roscommon town, on the N61 and N60 at the crossroads of the county, with Bus Eireann services from Dublin, Galway and Athlone and a railway station on the Dublin to Westport line. Street parking is available around the square, though it can fill up during the Friday market hours.

While you’re in Roscommon

The market is an easy way to build a Friday morning around Roscommon town, with the castle ruins, county museum and a good run of cafes and restaurants all within a short walk of the square. There is more to see in Roscommon and across Co. Roscommon.
