The missus wants to go along to the Christmas markets in Clarinbridge on saturday next.

Anyone know what they're like? Will I need to park 6 miles outside the town or is it a stress free as it says.

Didn't look at the article but you should get parking if you come early enough. Try the church car park, around the green, in the school car park about three minutes away by foot or Kilcornan (pretty much opposite the school and what was the hotel).

Great thanks -do you think it's worth going to?

I saw the article as well but wondering if it's actually any good.
Are there any good Christmas markets within 1 hr drive of Galway?

I know the Bunratty Castle have a big set 'Christmas Event with Santa' up but it costs a small forture. (€13 for adult, €24 for child)

Hard to say if it's worth going to -- it's the first one that I've heard of taking place there.

Haven't heard of any other decent Christmas markets within that length drive from Galway. Wait, is this still going?
