At Tipperary Town Farmers Market · Tipperary Shopping Centre Car Park, Tipperary Town, Co. Tipperary, E34 P958
Tipperary town’s Saturday market trades in the car park of the Tipperary Shopping Centre from 9am to 2pm, a longer window than most of the county’s Saturday markets. Locals doing the weekly shop mix with visitors passing through the town that gave the county its name, browsing stalls of homemade food, fresh produce, clothes and crafts. It has run for years as a fixture of the town’s Saturday routine.
The market’s range goes a little beyond the standard produce-and-baking mix found elsewhere in the county, stallholders here also sell clothing and general crafts alongside the expected homemade foods and fresh produce, giving it more of a general market feel. The five-hour window, from 9am to 2pm, means it is less of a rush-to-get-there market than the shorter Saturday morning slots in nearby towns. It is based in the Shopping Centre car park itself, so shoppers can easily combine a market visit with the centre’s other shops. The market has a Facebook page for weekly updates on which stallholders are trading, since the exact line-up shifts week to week.
Tipperary town sits on the N24, with Bus Eireann services connecting it to Limerick, Clonmel and Waterford. The Shopping Centre car park is close to the town centre, with additional parking available nearby if the market car park is busy.
The town that lent its name to the county and the famous song has a compact centre worth a wander after the market. There is more to see in Tipperary town and across Co. Tipperary.
