This Video Of Galway’s Christmas Market Will Make Any Irish Abroad A Little Homesick

WE JUST WANT YOU TO MISS US.

If you’re roasting your chestnuts on an open fire in Australia or Canada or have just been too busy to make it down to the Christmas Markets in Galway, fret not as we’ve decided to take the markets to you. 

Her.ie reader, Ben Rogan, spent a cold December evening capturing some pretty great shots of Galway’s Christmas Market.

The Galway Christmas Market at Eyre Square, in the heart of the city, is a great place this time of year and this atmospheric footage has us feeling a part of the festive fun.

Santa’s Express, elderly couples holding hands, the lights, the craic, there people… Although it isn’t the same as strolling past the various stalls yourself while nibbling on mince pies and drinking mulled wine, this video is the next best thing.

We hope this hasn’t made any Galwegians abroad a little homesick… WE JUST WANT YOU TO MISS US.
