Thank Cork it’s Christmas! Here’s where you’ll find every local business to support
Brought to you by Cork City Shopping.
It’s never been more important to shop local.
Every time you spend your cash in a corner bakery, a Cork boutique or a family-run sports store, you’re investing in your local community.
It’s more eco-friendly too; local shops have a smaller carbon footprint than larger chains, plus there’s always someone knowledgeable to chat to about your purchases.
If you’re planning your visit to Cork City Centre this week, there’s a handy way to check out everything that’s available before you put on your coat.
The Cork City Shopping Channel, created by Cork Business Association in collaboration with Cork City Council, features an updated listing for all the city’s stores in a variety of handy categories.

Just visit the website and you can browse everything from fashion and shoes to florists, DIY and tools and toys for the kids, with links to each shop’s website so you can buy online too.
You can even use the Cork City Shopping website to inspire your Santa list; check out the ‘Speciality Drinks’ section for links to beautiful, locally-made whiskey gifts and fabulous wines from Bubble Brothers, Curious Wines, The Wine Buff and more.
Children’s toys can be found at Pinnochio’s on Paul Street and Smyth’s on Maylor Street, with magical wooden creations and creative stocking fillers aplenty at Joyce’s.
All that shopping is guaranteed to work up an appetite so hit the ‘Pubs’ or the ‘Restaurants and Cafes’ sections to choose a spot for lunch or dinner, or a cafe for coffee and a warm mince pie during your visit.
