  • Thanks for letting us know.
    The continental market is greatly enjoyed by my children
    I will take them if the weather improves, Does any know if the big wheel will by removed soon?
    I don't want to miss my chance.
  • I think they've secured permission for the wheel until the summer, after that is unknown. There were some discussions about it moving to Dublin.

    I've never been before but we went last night and the kids loved it and enjoyed trying the different food.
    There was a big beer tent at the back and a few others also selling alcohol, plenty of young one's there last night as well. The atmosphere was really nice and came home with a few goodies.

    Wasn't brave enough to try the kangaroo burgers though lol
