Christmas Cottage Market set to light up town

Cavan Town is set to be transformed into a winter wonderland this December for the annual Christmas Cottage Market.

The festivities will take place at Townhall street on December 2 and 3, with a market which promises to be packed full of local producers’ festive cheer and culture!

More than 60 street vendors specialising in artisan food, crafts, and art will take over Townhall Street, showcasing exceptional talent and skills.

Explore an array of delightful Christmas gifts like honey, cheese, cakes, puddings, and locally crafted cordials from artisan producers on Market Square and indulge in the Cottage Market’s growing street food menu at the DineYard, where you can savour both sweet and savoury dishes.

Support your local community this season with a visit to our Craft and Art Marquee. Thirty talented, Cavan-based artists, will fill this space with stunning gifts, from handmade wreaths, knitwear, and jewellery to candles, paintings, soaps, leather goods, and more.

Music and entertainment will be provided by a host of Cavan musicians and our outdoor seating area will create the perfect opportunity for locals and visitors to experience the culture and community spirit that exists in our county.

This year’s live lineup features No Vendors, The Fly-by-Night Parasol Jazz Troupe, and the Jon LaFleur Band performing on Townhall Street. Meanwhile, Market Square’s Buskers Bench will be home to a host of gifted local musicians throughout both days.

Santa Claus will then join in on the day’s festivities by turning on the town’s Christmas Lights.

Organisers of the event wish to thank the Cavan Town Teams for co-ordinating the Cavan Community Gardaí and Cavan’s Little Blue Heroes.

Be sure to catch the captivating Live Street Performances and Umbrella Spectacle on Townhall Street, a new addition to this year’s Christmas Market.

So grab your family and your winter woolies and head on down to Townhall Street to embrace the festivities this Christmas.

Parking is available at Cavan Cathedral, Library and Courthouse.
