Irish Village Markets are the country's largest privately run market & festival operators. From Wednesday to Sunday each week, a variety of markets in various locations around Leinster offer thousands of customers an exciting and diverse alternative to the local supermarket. The attraction of these markets, aside from the first class produce, is the sheer variety of both local and international quality food. Tara Dalton from Irish Village Markets explains, "we have a full range of gourmet and artisan products including breads, cheeses, organic and free-range meats, fresh fish and organic fruit and vegetables. Along side these we offer a wide variety of Irish and Mediterranean hot foods at every market. We also have a number of other stalls offering plants and Irish hand-made crafts, so there's really something for everyone as well as a great atmosphere."
