Explore Fingal Markets – Swords
Free Saturday food and craft market in the grounds of Swords Castle, with a hands-on Viking workshop for children in the chapel and a food-themed talk.
Good to know
What to expect
Food and craft stalls set up inside the castle grounds: artisan producers, farm veg, baked goods. The pull for kids on this date is a Viking workshop in the chapel, where archaeologist Francesca Cadeddu talks through what Vikings ate, wore and sailed, and children weave a wool bookmark or coaster to take home. It's lively rather than quiet, and you wander in and out of the stalls.
