The Fair Alternative

It is not because our market is not open that you cannot buy from us. Here is a list to all our regular traders... Link in each picture. Make sure to support your local crafters, shops, traders, businesses this Christmas, more than ever before! Thank you all so much for the years of support already and the lovely messages that keep on coming in to let us know how much you miss us! We miss seeing you all so so so sooooo much!
From all at the FAIR ALTERNATIVE!

finally has a website where you can buy her incredible art! Remember - the market isn’t there every week but we are all around :) https://www.motherofunseen.com

It’s a very very very sad day today, one of the legend of our market has turned off her light on earth to go light up another crowd somewhere on a happier place - that’s all we hope - and we are only jealous of them. Mary Murphy was a light for us and for so many more in Cork, and beyond, we cannot believe that we will never see her again down here but hands on all our hearts, she will never leave our memories. She will live for as long as we will all cherish her memories and the stories we have shared. She wasn’t just a member of the family - she was one if its pillar. Mary we so very much love you and we hope from the bottom of our hearts that you find peace and more so reunite with your children. Cause nobody deserves the hand you were given in those past few years but still always had the kindest of words for all of us. With the greatness sadness to see you go! Love you forever and ever ❤️ and our love to Claire, her husband and all her family. We keep you in our thoughts as we cannot be beside you to send her off. Please be assured that’s we will all be thinking of you ❤️

Just handed the church keys back as I was asked, what a weird strange bizarre moment.
Hopefully THE UNITARIAN CHURCH management committee will have us back in 2021.

We have some really sad news so we met up today. We want to tell you all that we have been informed by the Unitarian church management committee that we cannot return until 2021. It’s hard to think that we are not gonna meet weekly.

Apart from coming trading to the market / it’s us coming together that counts the most every week. We lift each other up, we push each other forward, we stand on each other when we can’t stand alone on our two feet. We are gonna keep on meeting regularly like today and we will grow stronger together from this set back, I have no doubt.

We are looking for a venue for our Xmas market in the city center.
We are also gonna setup a website with a link to all your loved traders.
We want to thank every single one of you for the support, kind messages and concern we have received from you these past few months.
We are looking forward to see you all in 2021 and hopefully December in town.
From the market family - thank you all!

Due to the corona virus developments, we have to cancel our market until further notice. Please take all good care of yourselves. We will be busy making, creating and looking forward to see you all soon.

We are so looking forward to see everyone!
We have been so busy creating during this winter season too and we have a lot to show off. Doors will open at 10am until 5.30pm.
We are so grateful for you to spread the word!

Anyone who wishes to book a stall, the cost is 25 euro. You need to bring your own table. Thank you all so much!!

Love this page and we got a mention! A must read! Thank you so much guys!!

It’s a wrap for our 2019 XMAS market.
We want to thank every single one of you who has visited us, purchased from us, for the chats and support in general, your shares and all. Thank you all so so much. I don’t know if you know / but we are a close team and it’s a pleasure for us to be together every year for this Xmas market. The team is growing stronger and bigger and that’s also thanks to our customers. We look forward to our break until March when we will start again our market every Saturday. We wish you all to have a gorgeous and relaxed winter season! THANK YOU!! From all the Fair Alternative Team
