Theme Day - Open Air Market

Today, we return to the monthly market at Macreddin Village, Co Wicklow for our September 1st  Open Air Market feature on City Daily Photo Theme Day.  Above we see Teach Hilda's market stand specialising in the import of organic foods from southern Italy.

Green Day - Slight Return

BrookLodge & Wells Spa, Macreddin Village, Co Wicklow boasts the only Certified Organic restaurant in Ireland - The Strawberry Tree - but it also hosts the Macreddin Village Organic Market held on the first Sunday of each month from April to October. Stall holders come from all over for this very special market held in idyllic surroundings.

Sit back and enjoy the incredible sandwich of organically reared pork roasted on the spit while hens wander round the grounds feeding naturally from whatever they find.
