Howth Market
Howth Market is a marketplace in Fingal, Ireland, located directly on the coast and operating on weekends and public holidays. Around 25 stalls offer fresh produce, artisanal baked goods, jewelry, clothing, and handmade items, while four permanent retail units open daily to sell coffee, ice cream, and local food products.
The market relocated to a permanent waterfront site in 2013 and underwent expansion, making it an integral part of daily town life. Howth itself is a fishing village with a harbor tradition dating back to the 14th century, with boats remaining active and shaping the area's maritime heritage.
The market takes its name from Howth, an ancient fishing village with roots dating back centuries. Visitors can observe local artisans and vendors engaging with customers, which reflects the everyday rhythms and traditions that continue to shape community life here.
The market sits directly across from Howth Dart Station and is easily reachable on foot. The partly covered facility provides shelter from rain, and visiting typically takes less than an hour to walk through all the stalls.
A permanent wooden goods shop called Unique Oak operates within the market and has developed a strong reputation for quality products. This shop demonstrates how the market has evolved to provide space for local businesses to sustain their craft traditions.
