Find your calm at SOLAS. 🌿🐠
Working here has its perks, but without a doubt, the best part of the day is fish feeding duty. There’s something so grounding about stepping away from the general daily duties, heading to our display pond, and just watching our little friends enjoy their meal.
If you’re ever feeling overwhelmed or just need a quick reset, we highly recommend taking five minutes during your next visit to take a breath by the pond and slow down with us.

💎Stories from the Stalls💎

Our vendors are the heart and soul of our craft markets, and we absolutely love giving them a platform to shine!
We are so proud to introduce you to Hollie Murphy of . This is actually Hollie’s very first time at a market, and while she was a little nervous about filming this video, she did an absolutely amazing job!
Hollie creates beautiful, hand-crafted, beaded jewelry with a stunning bohemian flair. She started her journey because she wanted unique, colorful pieces that she just couldn’t find anywhere else, and she quickly fell in love with the process of making them herself.
Please come down, say hi, and show her some support as she starts her exciting new journey as a handmade jewelry vendor!

Myth Busted! 🍑🇮🇪
Who said you can’t grow peaches in Ireland? We were told it was impossible, so we decided to put them to the test!
These peach trees arrived on February 18th and have been living in our outdoor tree section ever since. No fertilizer, no special frost protection, and no fancy treatments—just raw resilience. And look at them now: thriving beautifully and already developing their first tiny fruits!
Sometimes, you just have to give nature a chance to surprise you. 🌿
Have you ever tried growing stone fruit in your own garden? Let us know in the comments! 👇
