Dates announced for Tullamore Christmas Market and lights switch-on

Halloween celebrations are currently in full flight, but the magic of Christmas will be coming to Tullamore in just a few weeks' time.

Offaly people are being asked to mark their calendars for Friday, November 21, when the fun starts with a weekend-long Christmas Market in the county town.

The festivities will culminate with the spectacular Christmas lights switch-on that Sunday, November 23, at 6pm.

The Tullamore Christmas market will be held in O'Connor Square throughout the weekend, offering a wide variety of local crafts, delicious food and festive treats.

The market is the perfect place to pick up unique Christmas gifts, sample seasonal delights and enjoy the community spirit.
