The weekend is here. Time for that living business...

DLRCC coco markets

DLRCC coco markets are on Friday (Dalkey), Sat (Marlay Park) and Sun (People's Park Dun Laoghaire).

Sip wild and wonderful teas or savour deliciously ripe Brie. Relish irresistible sausages or new spring lamb or simply delight in tempting aromas and the wholesome happy feeling with a trip to the CoCo Markets. Farmers and other food producers bring their fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, flowers, ethnic fare and sweet and savoury treats each week to the CoCo Markets.

With three weekly markets, the CoCo Markets represents the largest group of municipal markets in the country and are a notfor- profit initiative by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council. Whether food is a passion or just a flirtation, food lovers visit the markets each week to collect tasty treats, store cupboard necessities or simply wander around with a raw juice and a falafel in hand to peruse the colourful tapestry of farmers fare, crafts and cooking.

Renowned as one of the "happiest sites on the planet" and a "Southside table magnificent to behold" by the latest Bridgestone Guide and enveloped by a medley of international aromas, the heady market day atmosphere and community spirit is inimitable.

Saturday

If you're not lucky to be going to one of the many many gigs happening in town on Sat night and feel like a chilled out day in town take a stroll past Leinster House (try to keep fist shaking to a minimum) and continue on down to the National Gallery or Natural History museum both of which are free admission.
