Dunmore’s Market Day makes a return
THE traditional outdoor farmers’ market in Dunmore is being revived this weekend when there will be some 50 stalls on display.
However, it will be scaled back from what was originally planned with the organisers confining it to just one day on this coming Saturday.
The traditional market day has been synonymous with the annual summer festival but the current pandemic has put paid to this event happening for the past couple of years.
It was then decided by the Dunmore Traders to hold a market that would coincide with Christmas and would also include the hugely popular tractor run which was introduced in recent years.
Well-known local businessman, Tommie Howley told Farming Tribune that this has become the “winter version” of the summer market day and it was the intention of the traders to add something of a festive air to it as well.
“It will provide a social occasion for people to meet in a safe environment as well as giving them an opportunity to browse around the many stalls and attractions that will be provided on the day,” Tommie explained.
