"I would like to buy everything on display, pack it in containers and ship it back home to Dublin to sell because there is nothing like this at home" said an Irish friend of ours when visiting the Bryanston Organic Market. And it continues to be one of the "must visit" destinations for our overseas visitors.
Situated in the grounds of the Michael Mount Waldorf School, the open air market was started over 30 years ago as a fund raising venture (which it still is). A high proportion of the school parents have Continental roots and this is reflected in the amazing variety of high quality handcrafted goods. Food produce is natural (the "Organic" in the title) and covers the gamut from vegetables to cheeses, breads, honey and coffee beans. Need an unusual and unique gift: the range of crafts are too numerous to mention but include leatherwork, pottery, jewellery, curios, clothing, photography and many more.
And when your feet are sore and your stomach empty, there are a variety of eateries to chose from offering coffee, pastries, light meals and pizza's. Live music can be enjoyed while sitting under the trees at the Photosynthesis Tea Garden. The Not To Be Missed Moonlight Markets complete with Christmas Carols are held each Tuesday evening starting in late November through December. In 2013, the Moonlight Market starts on Tuesday 12th November and continue each Tuesday until Christmas.
The Market is open from 9.00am until 3.00pm each Thursday and Saturday while the Moonlight Markets start at approximately 5.00pm and continue until about 10.00pm (check the website).
