South Dublin County Council is delighted to announce that Tymon Park Food & Craft Market is returning for a second year this summer, after the great success of last year.
The offerings available include street food, crafts, artisan produce and entertainment, providing all the ingredients for a fun filled family day out.
Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Cllr Emma Murphy said “I am absolutely delighted to see the Tymon Park Market return this year. Last year the markets proved to be a fantastic social space for residents and visitors to the county. The markets showcase some wonderful craft, food and artisan products and highlight some of the amazing up-and-coming food producers supported by the Local Enterprise Office South Dublin. I encourage the local communities to come along to support and experience all these markets have to offer.”
The market will operate every Saturday from 11am to 4pm and will be held for the first time on Saturday the 6th of May. Tymon Park Food and Craft Market will be located in Tymon Park, Castletymon Road, Tallaght, next to the playground.
The market will promote local enterprise and develop a sense of community by utilising where possible local producers and crafts people, including Local Enterprise Office South Dublin (LEO) start-up clients.
“LEO South Dublin is delighted to collaborate with Dublin’s Outdoors to utilise and develop this opportunity. Outdoor markets offer a fantastic opportunity for our exciting new local food and craft producers to showcase their new products and benefit from the feedback of local consumers.” said Tom Rooney, Head of Enterprise at Local Enterprise Office South Dublin.
Outdoor markets support the promotion of the local community, enhance the attraction of our parks as valuable amenities and improve the tourism offering in the County, which is why South Dublin County Council and Dublin’s Outdoors is excited to welcome you to our market this summer!

About Tymon Park
Tymon Park was created through the amalgamation and purchase of plots of farmland in the 1970s and 1980s into one large park area. Tymon Park is a 120 hectares (300 acres) Regional Park situated on both sides of the M50 motorway and located between the N81 and Greenhills Roads. You can connect from Tymon to Dodder Valley Parks via the M50 underpass.
Tymon Park was formally opened in 1986 and contains an extensive range of facilities including 4 playgrounds, outdoor exercise equipment, dedicated dog run, “mud pit” and outdoor classroom. The wildflower meadow and woodlands lead to a wide variety of wildlife that can be spotted throughout the park.
The stunning views of the Dublin Mountains and the greater Dublin area result in this being a popular venue for events such as tournaments, band recitals, film/television shoots, family festivals in the summer, cross-country races and circus performances.
