Reading about a new "recession" market that's opened up on Wellington Road at the site of the Thompsons bakery.

I'm heading down to Cork in a few weekend's time with friends and I was wondering what it was like. I know that this is only the second weekend in being but has anyone been and what do you think of it?

Thanks

I was really wondering about dropping in there for a glass of wine in the courtyard with a nibble or two - or did I just imagine reading that?
Is anyone able to enlighten me?
TIA

I was there on both saturdays. First time i was just looking around in hurry, second time i opted for coffee and cake.
Also bought eggs from some teenager who's been growing chicken since 10 years old as his hobby. Must say- very awsome eggs. The kind that u only get from free range homegrown chicken. Made nice brekkie on sunday:)

The market is quite small, but it has potential. I think that i also opt for a cuppa there before heading to town on next saturday.
So overall the impression is good.

You can get wine, nibbles, little meal (different interesting choices from few stalls), coffee, tea, cakes and enjoy them there sitting down. The place where chairs-tables are might be unnoticable at first, so u might need to ask people where they are. Nice and in shade.

Also- i expected prices to be mad, but was pleasantly suprised that you can get quality bakery for example for a very decent price.
Drop by if have time, i think its worth going there, but dont expect huge market.

I ain't a fan of shilling but I've been to the market myself a few times and really like the environment, atmosphere and products available. However, it does seem to be quite exposed so I'd be interested to know how well sheltered it actually is on a wet day or how cold it'll get during the winter months if open then. There's a guy there selling brownies, cakes and pies (Insert person's name here)'s Kitchen. Best brownies I've ever tasted.

I'm not exactly sure but I think that it's Friday evenings from 6 PM and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 AM. I don't know when the closing time is but I've seen it still open as late as 8 PM.
