Situated in the heart of Bloom, DCCI’s Irish Craft Village will host 52 Irish craft retail stands, from textiles and printing to jewellery, woodturning and home décor.

Visitors can expect unique gifting opportunities, encouraging those to shop Made Local this summer.

It will also feature a range of demonstrations from DCCI’s Guilds, Associations, Networks and Societies (GANS) over the five days.

These demonstrations will be hosted by various associations including the Irish Artist Blacksmith Association and the Irish Woodturners Guild and will showcase Irish traditional techniques, offering insight into the craftsmanship and cultural heritage behind these skills.
