Heritage Week comes alive at Rossnowlagh Farmers Market. Click on the arrows to see a gallery of photos of the event: Rossnowlagh Farmers Market has, for over a year now, been more than just a place to do the weekly shop.  Every Friday from ten until one, it brings together producers, crafters, musicians and neighbours in a way that keeps skills alive and the community connected. Last week, as part of Heritage Week, that spirit was firmly on display. The market was busy as usual. Shoppers strolled from stall to stall, baskets filling with the best of local Irish produce: new-laid eggs, loaves of soda and wheaten bread, bags of just-dug spuds, fresh salad leaves, apple tarts still warm from the oven, buttery scones, focaccia scented with rosemary. For many, the market is not only a chance to buy quality food directly from local producers, but also a weekly opportunity to support livelihoods in the area and to meet with others from the community.

This goes beyond trade alone: it is about supporting local enterprise, keeping resources in the area, and giving producers, crafters and performers a space to share and develop their skills each week.  It also plays an important social role by connecting people, helping to reduce isolation, and providing a regular place to meet and chat. Heritage Week underlined this ethos, showing how farming, craft, music and dance remain central to the identity and resilience of local communities. Farmers markets have a vital role to play in sustaining those traditions, offering a space where skills can be demonstrated, passed on and kept relevant. As part of the Heritage Week celebrations, PPP Forge brought a blacksmith and Ireland’s last working coppersmith to the market, giving demonstrations of skills rarely seen today. Crowds gathered to watch as hot iron was hammered into shape, a reminder of the importance ofplaceholder image
