About Us
Irish Record Fairs have been organising the Music, CD and Record Fair in Dublin since 1998, for the first six years in the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire, running 3 or 4 fairs annually, moving from there to Filmbase, Curved Street in Temple Bar in 2004. This venue closed suddenly in 2018, and we have now relocated to the CIE Social Club in Inchicore for our large tri-annual fairs. We run regular events in Inchicore, Dundalk, The Naul, Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, Cork City, Wilton, Carrigaline, Midleton, Clonakilty, Killarney, Ennis, Sligo, Letterkenny, and Carrick On Shannon. In addition, our associate members also run fairs in Dublin and around the island. We are planning more events in different towns over the next year, as well, so if you have a good venue, let us know and we might visit your area!
Now, twenty-six years later and with over 1100 fairs under our belts, dealers travel from all over Ireland, Scotland and England to exhibit at what is a regular major event in the record fair calendar - the Music, CD & Record Fair. In the past we have had dealers from: Dublin, Sligo, Wexford, Wicklow, Galway, Cork, Limerick, Longford, Louth, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, France, Sweden and Germany.
If you run or own a good venue, festival or event and have a date for holding a record fair, why not contact us at irishrecordfairs@gmail.com ? I hope that you enjoy our site and our events - if you would like to see anything added to this site, please feel free to drop me a line!
All the Best, Brian
