Christmas Market at Wicklow Gaol

About the event

Wicklow Gaol's courtyard becomes a Christmas market from 21 November to 20 December 2026. Browse gifts, crafts and festive food from timber huts beneath garlands, lanterns and the old Gaol walls, then step into the heated marquee for music, family entertainment and a warm drink. The café is open too.

Opening times

  • Every Saturday and Sunday, 21 November to 20 December: 10am to 7pm
  • Fridays 4, 11 and 18 December: 2pm to 7pm

Entry to the market is free, with no booking needed. Victorian Santa, inside the Gaol, is a separate ticketed experience.
