Marlay Park CoCo Market

This picturesque location in Rathfarnham, overlooked by the historic 18th Century Marlay House and within the grounds of the 247 acre park is home to a playground, a par-3 golf course, running and walking trails and various sports facilities including tennis courts, football pitches and a cricket ground.

The Marlay Park CoCo Market is located behind Marlay House and its charming craft courtyard. Vendors are keen to build relationships with customers and share their passion for their products.

 

Marlay Park is approximately 121 hectares (300 acres) of suburban Public Park located in Rathfarnham in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Ireland. Lying about nine kilometres (5.5 miles) from Dublin city centre and at the foothills of Dublin Mountains, the parkland fed by the little Dargle River consists of mature woodland, extensive informal lawns, acres of recreational land laid out for playing pitches and passive recreation, ponds, and walkways.
