The 2025 market season begins on Easter Sunday 20th April and continues through to Sunday 28th September (weather permitting) – see you there!
Our dates are HERE.
Every Sunday during the summer season you can visit Schull Country Market from 10am to 2pm at the Pier Road Car Park and be delighted by the array of locally produced goods. You'll find vegetables, fruit and salads harvested that morning from Lisheen Greens, as well as the renowned Gubbeen cheeses and cured meats from the Ferguson family farm just a couple of miles up the road. There's a variety of freshly home baked sweet and savoury foods, plus chutneys, jams, vinaigrettes, West Cork honey and many other delicacies.

Enjoy the best coffee you'll taste in West Cork (and possibly beyond) made by Shane of Red Strand Coffee with beans he roasted in Clonakilty that week. Be sure to come hungry as there's Street Food to tempt, whether you fancy an authentic Breton crepe or galette, a hot fallafel wrap, spinach pakoras or a steak sandwich made with beef from the herd of Tom Walsh of Skibbereen. And to complete the taste sensation experience, select the legendary Hungry Crow chocolates to take home (if they make it that far).
Amongst our makers, you'll discover Ardura Pottery, who create understated, functional porcelain and stoneware ceramics, seaweed based skincare by Little Red, naturally tanned leather belts made to fit while you wait, ethically conscious clothing, botanically dyed yarn, jewellery and easily packable wooden gifts from Rossbrin Creative. West Cork is known for it's artists and we have several pop-up galleries featuring a wide range of paintings.
Do support our charity stall, West Cork Animal Welfare Group, for all manner of animal related goodies – check out the doggie bandanas, a must-have for discerning dogs – and help fund a vital cause. On fine days, we are lucky to have a number of accomplished musicians perform from all genres, who generously give their time to serenade us and they truly create a wonderful vibe – where else might you listen to a cello duo, a harpist, or an Irish fiddle on a Sunday morning, plus all contributions are donated to West Cork Animal Welfare Group.
All stall holders live within a forty mile radius of Schull, although many are from the environs of Schull itself, so you can be sure that what you choose really is local and you get to actually meet the people who grew, produced, baked and made it.

Applying to become a stall holder
If you are interested in taking a stall at the Market, please take a moment to read the Market Rules and then complete our Application Form. Schull Country Market, which runs from Easter until the last Sunday of September, is for farmers, growers, producers, artists, bakers and makers, to sell their own produce direct to the public. Potential stallholders must meet this criteria to be accepted. Because the market is relatively small, there is always more demand for stalls than space available. We aim for a diversity in market stalls to ensure a wide range of goods are available to our customers, which means we limit the number of traders who produce the same kind of thing. We dedicate a stall to the local charity West Cork Animal Welfare Group who do vital work to care for and re-home animals in need. The charity also recruits amazing musicians of all genres to provide the soundtrack for our market days, who generously donate their time to help raise further funds.

a week agoExcellent little farmers and crafts market held every Sunday during 10am - 2pm from Easter to the end of September. It's held in the Pier Road car park, on Pier Road just 69 meters/225 feet walk down hill from Main Street in Schull. I've submitted a pile of corrections and photos to the Google Maps listing, some of which have been incorporated. Hopefully they'll get its location correct now - it's in the car park, not in that tan house down the road that's shown in the first (dumb) picture! :-) Anyway, if you're anywhere near Schull on a Sunday between Easter and the end of September, this is a fun and worthwhile stop. The bunch of pictures I posted shows the variety of foods and crafts various people have. That selection will of course change each Sunday but that's part of the fun. I forgot to get a good picture of the cheese lady, dang it! Bought a chunk, which she nicely sliced for me as I was a tourist and don't live right there. I ate cheese (and sometimes crackers) for several days - delicious local cheese! My wife bought jewelry and some aromatherapy stuff. Some stalls also sell coffee and other food. Fun stop right near the water and a grassy park and the pier and walking paths.
