The long evenings might be behind us.

But autumn has its own kind of magic — crisp air, cosy layers, and the perfect excuse to wander into town for good food under twinkling lights.

This Friday, September 5th, The Night Market returns to Cornmarket Street in Cork City Centre, running from 4pm to 8.30pm — just the thing for an after-work ramble or a leisurely evening stroll.

Cork City Council has announced a special performance for this week’s instalment, UpDown Circus Festival will be performing live on the night.

Expect a lively mix of craft and food stalls, as well as vintage clothing and baked goodies, with live entertainment bringing warmth to the evening chill.

And if you need extra motivation? It’s the perfect excuse to walk the dog, linger with friends, and maybe grab an O’Flynn’s sausage for the road home.
