Join us in the heart of Inchicore at Richmond Barracks for a fair filled with crafts, fun and lots to do. Our fairs have workshops to attend, entertainment to enjoy, food to feast on and a huge variety of items from over 30 stalls to purchase such as clothing, crafts, design and art.

Visitors of all ages will have the chance to take part in the free Spring themed drop-in creative workshops for all ages. Free workshops are a regular part of the Culture Connects @ Richmond Barracks programme. Facilitated by experienced artists and practitioners, the workshops include juggling, upcycling fabrics to create floral crowns, crochet and learning to make and design patterned wrapping paper, gift cards and graphic posters. Facilitators include Change Clothes Crumlin, a new clothing reuse hub in Dublin 12, circus artist Fadi Zmorrod and artist and printmaker Clare Henderson. There will be workshops and readings themed around St Brigid over the weekend too.
