The Milk Market

About

The Milk Market is the beating heart of local life in Limerick, a covered market off Cornmarket Row that has traded since the 1850s. It is at its best on a Saturday, when the food day fills the space with bread, cheese, coffee, hot food, fresh produce, crafts and the whole city passing through. There is a real market culture here rather than a tourist showcase, with long-standing traders and a genuine weekend buzz, and it also trades on Fridays and Sundays. Come hungry, bring cash and a bag, and give yourself time to graze.
