Castletown Country Market & Craft Fair
Castletown Country Market & Craft Fair
Castletown Country Market & Fair takes place in the beautiful courtyard of our favourite palladian mansion, Castletown House. This was the first time that it had opened for its monthly gatherings since the lockdown. Located on the Dublin/Kildare border near Celbridge, this is one of the most famous Big Houses that surround the city. Everytime we see that glorious swooping arc of pillars at the front of the house we feel like we are in a Downtown Abbey movie. Even the sun came out to grace us with its presence.
It is a fabulous location for a day out and the spacious grounds were dotted with families enjoying the lovely atmosphere.
Nestled in a wooded area of rich countryside, there is much to see and do here. You can picnic on the lawns or follow the tree trail through the parklands down to the Liffey and the glorious Mrs Siddens Temple. Now that the house is open again you can even take the tour of the fabulous restored interiors. Our favourite room is Lady Louisa’s print room. This is where she pasted all her favourite prints. Instead of posters of pop singers on her wall she had the likes of Rembrandt to look at!
We were there to provide our mouthwatering treats to those who had come along to the monthly Country Market & Craft Fair. Stalls set up in the courtyard and in front of the palladian columns selling natural soaps, flowers, handcrafted pottery and even ancient maps. Plenty to peruse. There was even some fine musical performances by a soprano on stage. Nothing like a bit of light opera with your crépes. Oooh we missed this space!
We will be in Castletown House on the last Sunday of every month so do come along and try one of our delightful crépes if you are passing. Just look out for our converted cream coloured trailer and check out all our different fillings.
If you are interested in booking us to make crépes for your market, just contact us about your needs.
