Via Feltmakers Ireland guild member Tamzen Lundy:

We invite you to the evening launch of the new pop-up store. A collective of Eleven Kildare-based Artists, Makers, Designers, and Businesses under the name “Ó Lámha” (from the hand) has taken on the unit for the summer season.

Kindly supported by @leokildare and @kildarecountycouncil

We are opening as part of the Kildare town’s Derby Festival, reviving this unit with the aim of making this space a permanent feature that supports the work of locally based makers, with a specific focus on the creative community.

“Ó Lámha” is a collective of local makers and designers, offering a variety of beautiful handmade products, including cards, prints, silk scarves, woodwork, and jewellery.

WHERE: The old Southwells grocery store, on Kildare Town Market Square, right beside Hartes’ gastropub and a 10-minute walk from Kildare village.

WHEN: Grand Opening Thursday, 27th, 5PM—light refreshments and an evening shopping experience, plus a chance to meet the makers themselves.

GENERAL OPENING TIMES: Thursday- Sunday, 10 AM-5 PM.

We’d love to have you, please help us spread the word about this new venture. 

They say it “takes a village… actually, we think it takes a town- Kildare town!”

Come, support local, shop local, made local.
