Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went on a Sunday. well within the 'open hours' There were three coffee and food booths open as well as maybe six booths/stores selling their wares, mostly vintage clothing. The vast majority of stores/booths were locked up. Based on the website, we expected it to be a lively atmosphere. It wasn't.

Lovely place with so many options for everything you can think of... things for the house, tools, plants, vegetables, fruits, fish, meats... You can stay there for hours watching the stalls. So many foods and desserts that I left wanting to go back, because I wanted to taste much more and I couldn't.
I'm not sure if it's free to enter the place, because one day we entered for free, but the next they were charging to enter. I don't know if there was any specific event or what.

What a lovely place! Some great food stalls, good butchers, nice fresh produce. The stall holders were friendly and knowledgeable.
Mostly under cover but with some overflow stalls in nearby streets.
Please be aware that the market proper is on Saturdays. I see some people gave only one star because they turned up on the wrong day!
Go on Saturday and you won’t be disappointed.
Note this is sometimes referred to as the Limerick Food Market, but it is situated at the Milk Market.
It would have attracted 5 stars but there is no provision for dogs and their owners wanting to actually sit down and eat at a food market…. Hmmm

We accidentally stumbled upon the Milk Market during our visit to Limerick, and we are delighted we did!! Amazing vendors and stunning food stalls with so much on offer. We purchased some
yummy cookies and were highly impressed with everything we found in the Market. Shame it is only on at the weekend!!

A visit to the Saturday Market located in the Milk Market should be on your agenda if you are visiting Limerick. Given the current circumstances the number of stall holders is slightly reduced but the quality of the food and other produce on offer is second to none. The market is open from about 8am - 2pm. Bring a big bag - you will need it!

The Milk Market is a great place to walk through and just soak in the atmosphere. There are so many stalls and things to see. I bought a crepe from the Creperie for lunch and a cupcake from another stall for dessert. Next time I’m in Cork I’d like to stay somewhere with a kitchen (or at least a fridge) so I can take home some of the fresh items from the market.

Had great expectations going here as I had heard a lot about this market and thought it would be as good as the English Market in Cork but it is quite different and actually nothing like it really. It is more akin to a covered car boot sale with some classic eateries in the mix.
It was a Saturday afternoon we were there and we thought Saturday would be a great day to go there - busy with a good atmosphere but neither were there to be witnessed unfortunately. Don't think there is any reason to recommend The Milk Market or return.

I have travelled to limerick 4 times now since discovering the milk markets (a journey of over 2 hours each way) . There should be one in every county. I visited on a Saturday each time for the food market. The quality of the produce available is fantastic. Fresh meats & fish, sourdough, pestos, tapenade, cheese, fruit, veg, freshly baked cakes, handmade candles, soaps etc. Also the stalls that sell cooked food are fabulous. I cannot recommend this Saturday market highly enough & cannot wait for our next visit !

Was there on friday. About 3 stalls open and booked there really. Maybe better at the weekend but avoid during the week anyway.

Went to see Sinead O'Connor and the venue was absolutely hands down one of my favourite ever venues for a music gig.
No matter where you stand in here you get a great view of the stage yet you're protected from the elements and wind and rain etc but still great air flow unlike usual big top circus type venues.
I loved everything about this place from the great staff to really fast moving queues for food and drink and great sound etc. Will definitely go to gigs here in the future.

We stayed in the Absolute Hotel not too far away and walked. The streets around on a Saturday looked very crowded and not sure where nearest public car park is.

Is there parking near the market that is easy to get in and out of. Not familiar with the area. We are arriving on 3/12 around 7am in Shannon and plan to drive over and pick up some things before we go to condo. thanks

Yes, there is a couple of multi story car parks in the area. Not sure about Thursday. Saturday morning is the best time.
