Save the date.

Cork’s much-loved Dog Days Market is making its return this spring, bringing a lively mix of local makers, coffee, and four-legged friends back to one of the city’s most atmospheric venues.

Set to take place on Saturday, April 4th from 11am to 4pm, the market will once again transform St. Peter’s on North Main Street into a bustling, dog-friendly hub — where browsing, chatting, and slow weekend wandering are very much encouraged.

Housed inside St. Peter’s Cork, the event offers more than just shopping. The beautifully restored 18th-century church — now a vibrant cultural space — adds a unique sense of character to the market.

Visitors can expect a carefully curated selection of local traders, with everything from handmade goods and heritage-inspired hoodies (hi Colla) to artisan treats, alongside quality coffee and plenty of space for dogs to socialise. True to its name, Dog Days Market puts pups at the heart of the experience, making it a rare outing where they’re not just allowed, but celebrated.

And when the browsing winds down, the location couldn’t be better. Just steps from some of Cork’s best-loved pubs, attendees are perfectly placed to roll the afternoon into an evening pint.

For those looking to ease into the weekend with good company, local flavour, and maybe a pint afterwards, this is one date worth pencilling in.
