Galway City received a Gold Medal at the Supervalu TidyTowns National Competition 2025 on Friday 24 October at Croke Park in Dublin – demonstrating a marked improvement on previous year’s scores and recognising the tireless work of Galway City’s TidyTowns Committee, volunteers, city centre businesses, and Galway City Council Litter Management crews, Biodiversity Officer and Environment staff.

Due to street rehabilitation works to Churchyard Street from Monday the 6th of October to Friday 28th November 2025 part of the St. Nicholas Casual Traders Market will be temporarily moved during this period to St. Patrick’s School Car Park.
We encourage members of the public who frequent the market on the weekends to ensure you visit here also to see a vibrant and diverse set of traders set up a mini market during the period.
Market traders remain on Lombard Street and a part of Churchyard Street so be sure to see what they have on offer also.
