One of Ireland’s best-known buskers, Allie Sherlock, turned on the Christmas lights at Bewley’s Café this week, and launched the Bewley’s Christmas Market, a festive store created by Bewley’s in its iconic Grafton Street home that will support local businesses and producers.
From ceramics to books, vinyl records to crafted goods, and Bewley’s very own limited edition Christmas Coffee Blend, the space will be a bustling hub of beautifully curated Irish products guaranteed to put a smile on a loved one face this Christmas.
The Bewley’s Christmas Market has been created to celebrate and profile Irish producers and encourage consumers to shop local and support small businesses during the festive season. This Christmas, Bewley’s, an Irish business with a long history of supporting communities through its arts, culture and charity partnerships, is seeking to continue its support of Irish businesses.
It will provide its partner brands with a high footfall retail space to display and sell their products throughout the busy Christmas shopping period. The aim is to shine a light on the wealth of talented producers and makers across Ireland. Independent creators are integral to the fabric of Irish culture and creativity, and what better way to celebrate this than by showcasing them all under one roof.
Just some of the businesses taking part include Arran Street East, Pigeon House Candles and Oxmantown Skincare.
The market is located on the Johnson’s Court entrance to Bewley’s Café and will be open throughout December.
Speaking about the launch, Jason Doyle, Managing Director of Bewley’s Ireland & UK said: “Bewley’s Café is and has been at the heart of Christmas in Dublin for many years. It’s the point where paths cross and friends meet. A place for people to relax and recharge with a fresh coffee and a sticky bun after a long day roaming the streets of the city. Our café is quintessentially Dublin and has always been a beacon for culture, conversation, and connection.
Through our Christmas Market and as part of our Christmas campaign, we want to support Irish businesses, community, and culture and provide them with a platform to showcase their products to shoppers in Dublin city. We look forward to welcoming customers into the new Bewley’s Christmas Market”.
Bewley’s Café is also encouraging coffee lovers to get into the festive spirit with its Christmas Drinks Menu. The menu available from €5.40 includes the Orange Winter Warmer Hot Chocolate and Latte, Frosted Mint Hot Chocolate and Latte and he classic and festive favourite Gingerbread Latte.
