We missed our weekly wander around The Village Hall.

Now, after Covid-19 closed the doors of one of Cork’s best vintage haunts for months, the shop is back in business on St. Patrick’s Quay and there’s never been a better time to cross the bridge for a poke around.

The new opening hours are Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 12pm until 5pm.

The vintage market and coffee shop is stacked to the brim with quirky finds, from interesting furniture and decor to books, records, musical instruments, toys and costumes. There’s plenty of new stock in too.

The heaving rails of bargain vintage clothing are a popular attraction – it’s the only place in Cork where you can find a decent selection of Levis and original 80s windbreakers.

Plan a rummage this weekend – and bring a bag, you’re guaranteed to find something to take home.
