Showcase Ireland

It's hard to believe that this time last week we were getting ready to open the doors of the RDS for Showcase 2026.

Thanks to our brilliant makers and the buyers who came to see them from all over the world, the event was a huge success, we are looking forward to next year already!

Learning her craft from her great-grandmother, Sarah Gallagher from Sarah Lorraine Ireland is one of the exhibitors who made her mark at Showcase Ireland 2026.

Pottery brand Nicholas Mosse Pottery is celebrating 50 years in business, here Billy Molloy from the team explains why they come to exhibit at Showcase year after year.

That’s a wrap on Showcase Ireland 2026!

There has been such a buzz in the air over the past three days!

We have had a wonderful time celebrating the very best of Irish design, craft, and creativity — made possible by the incredible exhibitors, buyers, and partners who joined us.

A huge thank you to Design & Crafts Council Ireland, with support from the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Enterprise Ireland, and the Local Enterprise Offices for their continued support.

A warm welcome to dad and daughter duo Paul and Shauna Dixon who are visiting us from Canada! They love meeting our makers and come to Showcase every year to find beautifully crafted Irish products that they know their customers will love.

Are you an international buyer thinking of coming to Showcase? Take your cue from Cecile, a French buyer who recommends making the trip to Ireland for this very special event!

We loved hearing exhibitor Claire’s story of working with Carrickmacross Lace, a traditional Irish craft dating back to 1820.

Another round of applause for all the winners of this year’s Showcase Awards! 👏

We chatted to the winners to hear more about their stories, and their brilliant work.
