Dublin Christmas Flea

I have been to several xmas markets in some countries in Europe and some flea markets in Dublin itself, including the popular one in Newmarket Square.
I was very pleased with the choice of the Point Village as the location of the Xmas flea market this year and decided to check it out and now I HAVE to tell Unilocalers to leave their cosy homes this weekend and simply GO.
I love the Odeon cinema building and this event has finally made use of the huge potential of that facility.
When you reach the Point right next to the Gibson Hotel, there are a few food stalls outside and as it was flippin’ freezing many people stopped by to refuel with 3FE coffee and some pastries, cakes, sandwiches and so on. But then you go in and the atmosphere is great! All the floors of the Odeon are filled with stalls selling all sorts of different things and everyone is very friendly and nice, ready to have a chat about their stuff as they are clearly «local shop owner types». You can pretty much find at least ONE thing that will take your fancy: food, crafts, clothes, scarves, paintings, cards, art statements, jewelry, organic plants, vintage clothing, furniture and SO MUCH MORE! All the stuff is creative and funky so I was delighted. Also, parents can leave their kids playing in some painting areas and dogs were allowed inside so everyone was happy.
The event will be on for this weekend only so TRY to go right now if possible.
