A wonderful additional attraction at this year’s Christmas in Killarney festival will be a fabulous markets village which will feature rows of seasonally decorated cabins with great gift ideas right in the heart of the town centre.

The exciting project will be located in the Fair Hill car park in an initiative organised by Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce ­­– as part of its annual Christmas in Killarney celebrations – with the full support and backing of Kerry County Council and Killarney Municipal District Council.

Some wonderful gift ideas will be available at great prices and there will a magical Christmas atmosphere as busy shoppers go about their business.

“This is a very exciting development this year and we are all really looking forward to paying a visit and searching for that unique present for the season that’s in it,” Chamber of Tourism and Commerce said.

“Kerry County Council are giving the project full and enthusiastic backing and we’d like to thank them for that. All going well, this could become a regular feature in Killarney at Christmastime”.

The cabins will be in situ on Saturday, November 30 and Sunday, December 1 and on every weekend until the celebrations draw to a close.

They will be up and running and open for business from 3pm to 7pm on Fridays, 2pm to 8pm on Saturdays and 2pm to 7pm on Sundays.

While the interest from businesses and craft vendors has been huge, there are still a limited number of cabins up for grabs with a special three days (one weekend) for the price of two currently on offer.
