On December 4th, the Guinness Storehouse will open their snowy gates, inviting all to a festive shopping experience like no other. For the month of December, the Home of Guinness will be transformed into the ultimate Winter Village, complete with an exciting line-up of local craft makers, artists and much more.

This year, the Guinness Storehouse is offering up their unique space, making it easier than ever for people to support local this Christmas. In partnership with The Locals, Winter Village at the Guinness Storehouse will play host to Dublin’s best artisan craft makers and artists who may not have space to sell their products this Christmas.

Just like Guinness, The Locals was born right in the heart of Dublin 8 and celebrates those who are trailblazing in their communities in Dublin. Together, the Guinness Storehouse and The Locals want to give these amazing Irish brands a place under one roof to sell their incredible products to shoppers this Christmas.

Speaking on the announcement, John Mahon, founder of The Locals, said, “It’s no doubt that this year has been incredibly tough on Irish trade, especially our small, local and family-run businesses. Teaming up with the Guinness Storehouse this year and becoming an integral part of their Winter Village is something that will support some local creators, designers and vendors during the busiest season and it’s something that we are very excited about.” 

To help those shopping for loved ones this Christmas, guests can browse through stalls in search for unique stocking fillers or a festive treat. From crafts and jewellery to prints and quirky cards, apparel and homewares to confectionery and decorations, there is something for everyone. Among those setting up shop across the Winter Village include, Grand Grand, Fresh Cuts Clothing, Jam Art Factory, NIM and Potty Mouth.

Guinness Experts will also be on hand to help you select the perfect Christmas gift. From the Guinness Winter Warmer kit with all your favourite wearables, to the Guinness Home Bar Starter Kit, there’s something for all fans of the black stuff.

For those that are feeling a little peckish during their visit, Lilliput Stores and the SamboAmbo will be on site creating festive favourites from sweet treats to bubbling cheese toasties, or you can book a table at one of the Storehouse eateries 1837 Bar & Brasserie and Arthur’s Bar who will be serving up delicious comfort food including their brand new 1837 X Kish Fish sustainable Irish seafood pie.

For those who would love to share the magic of home with friends abroad, the Guinness Storehouse will have a very special post box on site. Visitors will be given a postcard to send anywhere in the world, but these are no ordinary Christmas cards – each offers a complimentary visit to the Guinness Storehouse. What better way to reunite with loved ones than over a pint of the black stuff at the Home of Guinness.

Tickets to the Guinness Storehouse start from just €15, including the seven floors of storytelling and a complimentary drink in Gravity Bar, overlooking the Dublin city skyline.

ABOUT THE GUINNESS STOREHOUSE

Join us at the Guinness Storehouse to experience the history, heart, and soul of Ireland’s most iconic beer. A visit to the Home of Guinness includes a behind-the-scenes look at the craft of brewing a perfect pint of the Black Stuff, an exhibition and cinema room dedicated to vintage Guinness advertising, and the chance to enjoy a pint in the Gravity Bar while enjoying Dublin’s best view.

Housed at St. James’s Gate in the heart of Dublin’s Liberties, the seven floors of the Guinness Storehouse were built through a €42 million redevelopment of a 113-year-old former Guinness fermentation plant. Since 2000, the Guinness Storehouse has continually been enhanced, developing its experience to exceed consumers’ expectations. The newly revamped Gravity Bar is the latest example of this. The panoramic bar, located on the seventh floor, has more than doubled in size, and is now structured as a figure of eight, giving stunning views across the Dublin cityscape.
