Thriftmas Market | Tíosmhargadh na Nollag
The SU Thriftmas Market is back 11am-3pm Thursday 4th of December 2025 in Áras na Mac Léinn.
Call down for a well-deserved study break and maybe get a start on your Christmas shopping or just treat yourself!
There’s lots going on to get you feeling festive!
- Galway Simon Community will have a pop-up Second Hand Clothes shop in the Cube downstairs in Áras na Mac Léinn. You can also drop off donation items to them if you are doing a pre-Christmas clear out (see list below of what they can/can’t take)
- In the foyer of Áras na Mac Léinn we will have University of Galway student vendors selling prints, cards, books, earrings, crystals, stickers, candles, jewellery, crafts, clothes, literary journals, ornaments, hot chocolate and more!
- Flirt FM will be playing Christmas tunes and your SU Officers will be selling Big Yellow Thing Socks and Christmas Raffle Tickets to raise funds for the SU Charities!
- We will also be taking donations for our Hygiene Hub Christmas donation appeal.
