3. Strange Market forces…

The Tralee Farmer’s Market is always worth a visit on a Saturday for the goodies on offer. This week though they’re planning something special from 10am-2.30pm at the Brandon Car Park.

In honour of Halloween, the stalls will be decked out and there’ll be Halloween-themed products from some businesses. It’s definitely worth a look.
