Final preparations are underway for Crosspool’s annual Selborne Road Street Market, taking place this Sunday, 28 June.
Come along and browse over 40 stalls offering local food, cakes, plants, crafts, jewellery, clothes and books. There’ll also be entertainment throughout the afternoon, starting with the LYDGATE INFANT SCHOOL CHOIR; followed by the Irish Dancers (SCOIL RINCE NUA) and last but not least, the CELLAR V BAND, making it a great afternoon out for all ages.
The Street Market runs from 12 noon to 4pm and forms part of the 2026 Crosspool Festival
The Selborne Road street market returns on Sunday 30 June

Lots of other events are in the pipeline too, so look out for the programme in May, and we’ll also keep you posted through this website.
Could you help design posters and fliers?
The organising committee is looking for someone to help design posters and fliers for the festival. This would suit someone with computer skills and a bit of artistic flair, and who could spare a few hours in early May.
