It’s never too early for a bit of gift hunting.

And if you’re looking for a spot for a Sunday spin and some shopping this month, then Ballinspittle is the ideal destination.

The village is holding a Winter Fair on Sunday, November 13th as part of a community effort to fund its Christmas lights this year.

Led by local baker Shannen Butler-Keane of Diva Boutique Bakery in the centre of town, local businesses, craftspeople, chefs and creators will be teaming up to ensure the stalls are heaving with unique pressies and sustainable, affordable arts and crafts.

Art & Craft Fair in #Ballinspittle #Cork next month. Treat yourself to a great day out in this not so sleepy village: eat; drink; shop; walk in woods; kids’ playground 💯 Garrettsown beaches nearby for surf, swim, sauna…or just a walk! #purecork #sustainable #supportlocal pic.twitter.com/S98FJMJmpQ

There’s plenty of other stuff to do locally too if you fancy making a day of it, from a playground to the kiddos to nearby Garretstown Beach, where you can head with a picnic and some coffees after you’ve exhausted the stalls.

The Ballinspittle Winter Fair runs from 12pm until 6pm on the day.
