Dublin Flea and Block T Christmas Cracker

We've joined forces with Block T in Smithfield to offer Dublin the best Christmas shopping experience since 1853.

Block T have an amazing space on the south end of Smithfield square where they have been housing artists/ putting on exhibitions/ offering creative space for the past 6 months. There are 4 rooms over two floors which we will be filling with all the best Dublin Flea Market stalls for a full weekend of festive haggling and bargains on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th December.

There will be 50+ stalls as well as a chill out area, plenty of music and food and more Christmas cheer than Mr. Claus himself. This will be the most unique Christmas market Dublin has seen in the last while...and there wont be a German wooden hut in sight! Just the best second hand, vintage and retro wares you can find in Ireland with a healthy amount of local artists, designers and crafters selling their wares.

If you would like to take a stall for the weekend the cost is €70 (for the two days) and you can apply by filling out the form at this link:

Applications will remain open until November 20th.



PLEASE NOTE: The regular Dublin Flea Market will still be taking place on Newmarket square on Sunday December 19th and applications for this market will be accepted through the website www.dublinflea.ie from November 20th - Dec 5th.

CANOPIES FOR HIRE

Is the fact that the three organisers spent over €70 each at the last flea a sign of a good market?!?!? We thought last month was great!!! Hats off to all the traders for having amazing clobber

In case any of you were wondering about the wooden frame canopies from Germany....and that the new canopies look a lot like steel frame ones from England.....you are right. In the end we couldnt go with the beautiful German ones (BOOOO!). They were just that little bit too expensive and after a trial run they just wern't practical enough. We have to do most of the setting up of stalls in the morning ourselves and until we're multi millionaires and can afford to pay someone else to do it the good 'ol pop-up-steel-fram-ers will be just grand.

The major bonus with these canopies is their versatility - and therefore rentability.

THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR HIRE!

New Canopies

We finally got our canopies for the outdoor stalls. woohoo!!!
Since we started the outdoor pitches we've been renting canopies every month off Dublin City Council - bit of a hassle and they couldnt guarantee us availability every month so we had to invest in our own. Its been a long time negotiating with the bank, wondering whether it was the right thing to do, wondering whether we could afford it....but we did it. Now just 3 years of repayments to look forward to (yessss!!)

So thanks to anyone who bought a raffle ticket over the last few months to help us out. Any donations or help are still greatly appreciated so slip a euro or two on the sly into the donations bin if ever you come down to the market and like what you see.
