A Halloween-themed flea market is coming to Dublin city centre this weekend.
The spooky market will take place this Saturday, October 21, from 11am to 4pm at The Grand Social. More than 25 vendors will have their own stalls and there will be a huge mixture of sellers from fashion, arts and crafts, creative services, handmade jewellery, handmade gifts and much more.
Peadar from Alternative Dublin told us this will be their third market this year and will have secondhand clothes, handmade clothes, arts and crafts and “anything a bit weird, anything out there”. He added: “We try to focus on smaller vendors and vendors who would be selling unconventional things - just to give them that kind of platform.”

There will also be Halloween-themed games and participants could win tickets to Alternative Dublin events such as Drink and Draw and other events for their studio at This Must Be The Place. Peadar added: “The idea is just to have a bit of craic - something different, an unconventional kind of flea market.
“I think the main draw for people going to the market is A, they can see some new vendors that might be interested in that list, or B they can go and actually see a market that's a bit unconventional, something that they wouldn't be used to being sold there. For example, we have a lovely person selling [tobacco-free] herbal smokes.”
The event organisers are expecting hundreds of people so they are encouraging people to register and get a free Eventbrite ticket to guarantee entry.
