Galway

<p>As we move into the festive season this December, the importance of shopping local in <a href="https://xploreapp.io/galway" target="_blank">Galway </a> takes centre stage. The Tiny Traders Village, which showcases sustainable, artisan products, has taken the move away from outdoor gazebos and into a pop-up indoor space in Edward Square from Friday, December 6th right up to Christmas Eve.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Their annual Christmas market is always popular amongst locals and tourists alike.  Now, customers can shop the treasure trove of gift ideas, made with care, and chat in person to the creator without worrying about the elements.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Think Local, Think Global</h4>
<p>"We need to think in a global way," says founder and manager Paul David Murphy "and this is one way to ensure sustainability and a chance for customers to meet the maker of the products. It’s a bit of an antitheses to mass globalisation.</p>
<p>“We all are aware that we consume an awful lot and the extent to which consumption impacts the surroundings and the environment. By providing a space for ethically sourced and handmade products creates a connection between customer and the product and we can’t put enough of a value on that."</p>

<p>This is the first time that the group who champion local makers and producers has ever occupied a retail unit, and it's an opportunity that Paul David Murphy is "extremely excited" about.&nbsp;</p>
