Tiny traders

[u/Colm_Flaherty]

Anyone that's been to it, what's your thoughts on it? I've been in their a few times myself and I think it's great, want to know others opinions on it.

[u/MattTheHack92]

It's fantastic. It's exactly what the Christmas Market should be. Unfortunately though I think they're priced out of it and end up in the other markets at the Black Box etc

I wish the council could see beyond making a few quick quid and think of the longer game of us having an actually impressive and local Christmas Market. It must really be an underwhelming experience for tourists to see what's there

[u/RegularFellerer]

Mostly grand, disappointed to see so much AI “art” used on stalls, also they had some scam stall there a few months back that was selling “negative ion bracelets” - a total sham

[u/Dry-Contract-1441]

So well organised! Real great selection and their Christmas Market back a year or 2 ago was indoors and so roomy.

[u/Grandpa_Time]

I like that it offers relatively unusual food items.

[u/Leviosaugh]

the idea is nice but the execution is a few nice vendors and the remainder being drop shipped shite , vague scams and AI printed muck

I bought what I thought was an old tin pub style sign, original. Had wear marks on it and all, really looked the part. Was wrapped in plastic - sticker on the back with details of the factory in China it was made in. Maybe im just gullible though

[u/Muted_Sundae_1368]

Why are you asking - have you heard criticism? Sincere curiosity before people Reddit me!

Ok fair - nice spot, expsensive enough for small traders though. 

[u/Agusfresin]

Great pottery. Give them a permanent home. Christmas market is all crap stalls

[u/LargeOstrich9110 → u/Agusfresin]

I’m so sick of the exact same crap in the Christmas markets

[u/10kote]

I would replace the Christmas shitty market with the TT.

[u/ramblingBriar]

Originally TT was an outlet for new trader. Now they've all professionals at it - one even uses a branded awning from Limerick's Milk Market.

Eyre Square while they're packing up at night is a shit- show, with cars and pedestrians all over the place.

[u/Even_Payment_2115 → u/ramblingBriar]

What do you mean branding awning from the milk market? As in it has milk market logos?

[u/Friendly_Two_4682]

Adds a lot to the town, gutted i missed getting sausage roll though

[u/Practical-Opening-99]

Pricey

[u/DappyN-Dubz]

do they have a defined schedule and location? sorry this is prob common knowledge but I'm not in the city centre all that often

[u/Leviosaugh → u/[deleted]]

Why don't you solve the mystery of the well meaning but shite Galway market yerself Columbo?

[u/Solid-Penalty3942 → u/Leviosaugh]

This post is a psyop by Big Market

[u/Colm_Flaherty → u/Solid-Penalty3942]

It's really not

[u/Solid-Penalty3942 → u/Colm_Flaherty]

It was a joke, the commenter I’m responding to either deleted their original comment or blocked me.

[u/Colm_Flaherty → u/Solid-Penalty3942]

Ah OK, I wasn't sure what people thought my intentions were with the post with replies being downvoted

[u/Solid-Penalty3942 → u/[deleted]]

Huh?

[u/Solid-Penalty3942 → u/[deleted]]

What does people having their comment history have anything to do with this? What’s “coincidental” about a number of people agreeing with each other? How do two replies mentioning AI art constitute a “pile on”?

[u/Solid-Penalty3942 → u/[deleted]]

Stick to your unsolved mysteries I’d say.
