📖 Limerick's flea market scene offers a treasure trove for resellers, with the iconic Limerick Milk Market being a central hub, though it primarily focuses on fresh produce, artisan foods, and crafts rather than typical flea market finds. For those seeking pre-loved items, vintage finds, and collectibles, the Croom Indoor Car Boot Sale and the Ballysimon Car Boot Sale are key spots. Resellers can unearth anything from antique furniture and paintings to household items, tools, and even unique local memorabilia. An insider tip for Limerick is to arrive early at car boot sales, as the best bargains and hidden gems are often snapped up quickly by seasoned buyers.
A historic, all-weather market under a large canopy. While famous for food, the Saturday and Sunday markets also feature stalls selling antiques, vintage clothes, and crafts.
