Tramore Indoor Market
The Tramore Indoor Market has moved premises to the Central Garage on Main Street. Originally operating from a unit on Priests Roads, they had been forced to move as the premises was taken into receivership forcing the traders to find a new location. The new home for the Indoor Market will see most of the original traders return. Fresh fish, home-made breads, jams and seasonal fruit and vegetables all for sale. Great selection of Arts & Crafts, Plants & Shrubs. Plenty of locally sourced foods including vegetables, O'Neills dry cured bacon and Pete's fresh fish. The Discover Tramore Map and their listing on the website will be updated in the coming days to reflect the changes.
