Ballyglass Heritage Week Market

The Ballyglass Heritage Week Market is a nostalgic community event held at the Ballyglass Community Centre as part of Ireland's National Heritage Week. A central feature of the gathering is a curated display of old photographs showcasing the people and landmarks of the Ballyglass area from decades past, providing a historical perspective for both locals and visitors.

The event functions as a traditional market where attendees can purchase a variety of local produce and artisan craft items. For families, the market includes dedicated children's entertainment such as face-painting and balloon modeling. Food and drink are provided by local mobile vendors, including coffee and ice-cream services.

Another key component of the event is the community raffle, which highlights local businesses and producers. Prizes often include the 'Best of Ballyglass' hamper, featuring regional goods such as honey, eggs, jams, and home-baked treats. While organized as part of the heritage celebrations, the community often hosts similar markets later in the autumn season.
