With a central location on the Muckross Road, access to high quality unique exhibitors and bustling festive atmosphere, it’s sure to be one of the must attend events on the Christmas in Killarney calendar for 2022.

A festive inspired weekend is planned and includes the best of locally produced and sustainable gifts, homeware and giftable foods.

As well as complimentary entry for all, shoppers will also enjoy free mulled wine on arrival, soak up the festive spirit amid the crackling log fires and wander at ease through the exhibitor stands.

The Christmas Gift Fair at Randles Hotel will run over the weekend of Saturday December 17 and Sunday 18 inclusive from 1pm - 6pm each day with 20 stalls ranging from Christmas decorations to jewellery, festive food and hampers to stunning prints, candles, ceramics and much more. A great event to include on your Christmas shopping list, while supporting local artisans.

“The fair will allow shoppers to browse some wonderful stalls all under one roof," Tom Randles, owner of Randles Hotel, said.

"With something for everyone, we will help get your Christmas shopping off to a great start (or finish if you are ultra-organised!). There are makers, creators, bakers and much more. All are small local independent businesses that would really love your support this Christmas. So bring the whole family for a unique shopping experience.”
