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