With a wide variety of stalls selling all kinds of food – olives, farmhouse cheeses, artisan breads, organic meats, free-range poultry – to fresh cut flowers and local craft producers with handmade goodies like jewellery, soaps and candles, there are treats and temptations for all the family.

Complete with music in the background – ranging from buskers to gypsy orchestras to jazz on the lawns – each month will also see plenty of food and drink to enjoy on site, including hot toddies, barbecues, a Pimms bar, a champagne bar, and other seasonal delights!
 
People worldwide are rediscovering the benefits of buying local food – fresher than anything in the supermarkets, tastier and more nutritious, it’s also good for your local economy as buying directly from family farmers helps them stay in business.

So enjoy the fun, food and 'craic' at the Tankardstown Farmers’ Market on Easter Sunday, while supporting local growers and farmers, meeting the people selling directly to you, and cutting down on your costs!

Also new to Tankardstown is their mouth-watering Sunday Brunch menu and their great value Early Bird Menu, which starts at just €22. Tankardstown dining options include their beautiful restaurant Brabazon and their cosy Bistro. Secret Dining provides an intimate and enchanting private dining experience.
