Magical Christmas Market Getaways at The Galmont

Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year at The Galmont Hotel & Spa, perfectly located just moments from one of Ireland’s most beloved festive attractions, the Galway Christmas Market in Eyre Square.

Once again, Galway transforms into a sparkling winter wonderland as the much-loved market returns, filling the city with twinkling lights, laughter, and festive cheer. Just a short stroll from our doors, it’s the perfect way to start your Christmas celebrations.

As evening falls, bundle up and wander through Eyre Square, where glowing stalls brim with handcrafted gifts, local artisan creations, and seasonal treats. Soak up the joyful atmosphere, admire dazzling light displays, and discover those special finds that make gift-giving extra memorable.

Delight in the magic of Santa’s Grotto, take a whirl on the vintage carousel, or enjoy breathtaking views of the city from the 32-metre Ferris wheel. When you’re ready to relax, warm up at the Beer Tent with a cup of mulled wine, or a comforting hot cider and for a true taste of Christmas, savour festive favourites like bratwurst, pretzels, and crêpes.

After an enchanting day of festive fun, return to The Galmont Hotel & Spa, your cosy retreat in the heart of Galway, to unwind, indulge, and embrace the spirit of the season.
