Media Statement from the Organisers of Strandhill People’s Market

The organisers of the Strandhill People’s Market have proudly operated the weekly event for over 11 years. From the beginning, our goal has been to support small businesses, create a space for the community, and contribute positively to the economy and culture of Sligo.
Throughout those 11 years, Sligo Airport has been more than a facilitator — it has been a partner, working with us to make the market the success it has become. That spirit of partnership remains today.
The current situation stems from a series of decisions made at Government level, and to be fair, could not have been foreseen. We understand the frustration felt by traders, many of whom are now struggling to pay rent, retain staff, or sustain their business in the absence of the market.
While we continue to work behind the scenes with local representatives and Sligo Airport to explore a constructive solution, we also understand the need for traders to have their voices heard. Their decision to launch a public campaign is a reflection of the pressure they are under — and of the value the market has held in their lives and livelihoods.
We believe that the external support, the online engagement and the petition will only strengthen the case for a solution. It is important that those who care about the market speak up — and we thank all those who already have.
It may seem to be only a weekly market — but in reality, it offers so much more: stability for small businesses, a heartbeat for the community, and a reason for people to gather, return, and belong.
We remain hopeful that, together, a positive resolution can be found.

Hi everybody this is a shout out for support. We need your help. Here you see my small business thriving. The reason why I built up my product range and my confidence in the face of adversity was for the most part down to having a presence at . Aside from the market organisers providing a platform for small local artisan businesses like mine, and many others, they also provided a marketing/social media presence second to none. The space housed at Strandhill Airport in Hanger 1 every Sunday was inviting, welcoming, fun and attracted people from all over Ireland and beyond. For me personally, it gave me confidence to showcase my products. After my husband passed away I wasn't sure if I could keep my business going. However, they believed in me, supported me, I felt among friends. So why are we now in a situation where this invaluable market has had it's space to trade, taken away. It doesn't make sense. The impact on small businesses, local people and the local economy is beyond belief. I will support the Strandhill Peoples Market to reverse this decision and I ask that you join me in signing the petition and raise awareness as far and wide as you can. Thank you soooooo much. I truly hope to see you in the future at Strandhill Peoples Market. Watch this space. Visit https://chng.it/H25Fzp9vws to register your support. Love to us all Julie@thearomaticpharmacy.com ❤

Thank you to my friend Beatrice Allen for bringing me the recipe and Carraigin seaweed (marine algae) for this amazing natural concoction. Seaweed is a wonderful source of vitamins and minerals. Carraigin has properties that are anti viral and expectorant (phlegm loosening) helping clear chest infections and easing coughs. Add to all this that it's high in magnesium .... you sports folk out there will know the importance of this in preventing muscle cramps. Magical 😊☘
