Well... we're **still buzzing** after last Saturday's market in Rathmullan! 🥰 What a day! and thanks to Rathmullan Community Festival, and the annual Rathmullan Regatta what a weekend ! The sunshine, the chats, the laughs, and all the amazing support for our local makers market.

Roll on this Saturday! 🛍️

The amusements may have packed up and moved on but The **Inch Mile Swim** is on its way and we are there for it ! Opening at the earlier time of 10am so if you're in Rathmullan there's no better excuse for a wander through the Makers Market. Pop in after the swim, before the beach, or while you're sipping your coffee or waiting on the ferry.

And as if that's not enough excitement for one post we are also delighted to be listed as an event as part of August Craft Month 👉 https://augustcraftmonth.org/acm-event/rathmullan-makers-market-2/

See you Saturday... we'll be the ones still riding the high from last week's brilliant market! (and possibly hiding in the sheds from the rain 😆) 💛 We are full of gratitude to all our customers for their support and thank you in advance for paying us another wee visit this Saturday, 10 to 4 !
