To me the Engish market is more than just another market it is the beating heart of our city. A walk through the market tells you more about our city and it’s people than any guide book ca,. You find people from all over the world in the market every day not only buying but working in the Market. The people you meet in the market reflect the people living and working in Cork city today. You will find New Yorkers standing beside Ukrainians beside people who’s mother, Grandmother and great grandmother shopped in the market before them. You can buy delicacies from places as far apart as India and Poland as the market moves and adapts to the ever changing tastes of the people of the City.
Recently I was proud to be invited to be part of a documentary on the great market’s of the world for French television featuring the English Market in Cork.
