Tymon Park in Tallaght is set to welcome a brand new food and crafts market this Saturday.
The market has been put together by Dublin Market Events - who also runs Bushy Park Market - and South Dublin County Council, who wanted to bring something to the park for locals.
The market will feature food stalls, family friendly entertainment and activities and other elements that are sure to solidify it as a regular activity for locals living in the area and people travelling from further afield via the M50.

Food vendors that will be at the inaugural market this Saturday include dessert favourite The Drunken Cookie, toastie makers Golden Brown, and one of Bushy Park Market's most popular hot food stalls The Sausage Hut.
Additionally, there will be Kakilang, Richie Rich Burgers, Kahuna Pops, Sweet House Crepes, Salt N Malt, and Delish Doughnuts.
As well as food and drink vendors, there will be plenty of crafts on sale at the market.
Georgina from Dublin Market Events told Dublin Live: "Loads of people got really creative during the lockdowns. They were all sitting at home making these wonderful things. So we have great people there like a woodturner, lots of designers, soap makers and candle makers.
"We have Think Twice, who are all about zero waste food. You can bring your bottles and buy things like shampoo and sugar."
The atmosphere at the market is set to be lively this Saturday with the addition of live music provided by South Dublin County Council as well as magic shows and face painting.
There will then be love music every weekend following that as well as other family friendly attractions such as farm animals and a mobile library.
The market at Tymon Park came about after South Dublin County Council approached the organisers of Bushy Park market, asking if they would bring something similar to the Tallaght Park, a lovely space that Georgina describes as "underutilised" with features such as a fairy trail.
They now operate as Dublin Market Events, running the two weekly markets in Bushy Park and Tymon Park and pop ups and street food experiences.
This weekend's market at Tymon Park takes place between 11am and 4pm.
