The dog-friendly Christmas Market at The Boathouse is back this weekend

By Yay Cork December 9, 2025December 8, 2025

Making plans for this weekend?

The Boathouse restaurant and coffee dock is bringing back the Christmas magic for a second instalment — and locals are buzzing.

If you missed it the first time (or just want another wander with a double hot chocolate in hand), the dog-friendly event is returning this Friday, December 12th and Saturday, December 13th at its cosy indoor home under the glasshouse in Dripsey.

Organisers say they were blown away by the turnout — and the festive vibes — so they’re doing it all again, but with brand new vendors in the mix. Expect fresh crafts, gorgeous gifts, handmade treats and plenty more reasons to finish (or start… no judgement) your Christmas shopping.

Later you can reward yourself with a Christmas sambo too:

Even better? It’s dog-friendly, so your four-legged sidekick can soak up the festive cheer too. And in true community-market style, entry is completely free.

Whether you’re after unique gifts, a cosy festive outing, or just an excuse to eat something delicious in a twinkly setting, The Boathouse Christmas Market has you sorted.

Perfect for families, couples, pals — and anyone looking to get properly into the Christmas spirit.
