Experience artisan crafts, holiday treats, family photos with Santa, and more this November 28 and 29th!

We are delighted to announce our Christmas Market returns, bringing together a small, curated selection of artists, makers, and more to celebrate the holiday season. This cosy, festive market will feature handcrafted goods, locally produced foods, and holiday décor that captures the spirit of Portlaoise at Christmas.

Visitors will also enjoy festive food and beverages, including mulled wine, teas, coffees, and seasonal treats, provided by Laois Taste and the Dunamaise Bar.

Activities for All Ages:

To make the market even more special, each day will feature unique activities:

Creative Workshops:
Saturday – Family arts and crafts table throughout the day & Cookie Decoration with Brie's Bakes

Saturday, November 29th – A memorable meet-and-greet with Santa himself! Families can capture a holiday keepsake with Santa in a cosy photo area with a pro photographer, enjoy holiday crafts, and create special treats with Brie’s Bakes (subject to availability over the day).

The Start of Our Festive Season

The Christmas Market marks the beginning of Dunamaise Arts Centre’s festive season of concerts, performances, and special events, making it the ideal spot for early holiday shopping.

We kindly thank Laois County Council Creative Ireland Laois for their support of our artists and makers
