Dunfanaghy - Back to Black & White !

If this picture is anything to go by, a traffic jam in Dunfanaghy meant a whole different thing before the turn of the 19th century. 

Since moving into the Market House, we have been interested in finding out more about the building's history and importance to the town.  We came across this old image of the Market Square and Market House and would love to find out more about it. Do you know when it was taken or who the boy is in the photo ?

We would love to get copies of this or any other old images from around the same time, so we can add them to the website. Equally if there are any interesting  stories or memories about the Market House specifically, or indeed the Dunfanaghy of old, (especially from  the mid 19th Century onwards) we would love to hear them. You can find our contact details on this site, or feel free to drop into the shop. 

Dunfanaghy - 'The Brightest Jewel in the Treasure Chest' that is Donegal

We couldn't have described it better ourselves ! These are the words of feature writer for The Irish News, William Scholes, in a recent article about his family holiday in Donegal. William like so many has clearly been bitten by the Donegal bug and in our humble opinion the article sums up all that is good about this area and the wonderful town of Dunfanaghy.

For those of you who may have missed it, here is a copy. Hope you can read it OK !

All the Fun of the August Fair

Dunfanaghy is buzzing again with the arrival of the August Fair. The evening of Friday 2nd saw the colourful parade of floats with many of the local businesses getting into the festive spirit. The various floats made their way through the main street to the Market Square were the judges picked their favourites. Clearly a great deal of effort was put in by all, with Lizzie's Diner eventually 'floating' to the top. Well done to all concerned... it was a fun evening that drew a large crowd. As one of the newest businesses in the town the creative brainstorming has already started for our debut next year !

We've captured a few videos from the evening...you can decide who floated your boat !
