Be sure to visit Ballymaloe Grainstore (upstairs and down!), The Carrigaun Room, Vintage hub, food emporium and Big Shed for an impressive array of textiles, glassware, sculptures, art, woodwork, jewellery, leather goods and unique local and national crafty gifts.

Not to mention the chance to get your Christmas dinner organised by ordering your Turkey and getting all the Ballymaloe accompaniments you need for that perfect Christmas meal. Our food emporium has gone from strength to strength each year with this year the biggest and best yet. Fabulous craft beer and Irish distillery stalls will sit side by side with some of the best cheese, smoked fish and other artisan food producers.

A visit to the Ballymaloe Craft Fair takes all the stress out of starting your Christmas shopping combining a beautiful location with a huge variety of crafts and design.

A fantastic day out for the whole family with children’s activities and workshops, hot food, mulled wine and music to keep everyone happy and entertained. The Fair is completely undercover and heated.
