Donegal Square
Share
Located in Historic Bethlehem, purveying all things Ireland and the British Isles. A favorite stop for a true celtic experience, minus the passport ✨
Donegal Square was established in 1985 by owner Neville Gardner as a result of many requests by friends of Neville’s to bring back various items from Ireland each time he visited his family in County Antrim. The name of the shop is taken from the Georgian Square in which Belfast City Hall sits. Neville worked there as a civil engineer before coming to the US back in 1979. In 1996 Donegal Square mo

There's a reason it has two handles.
The quaich — Scotland's ancient "cup of welcome" — was designed so both hands were always visible while drinking. A gesture of trust, at a time when trust had to be earned.
Today, quaichs are shared at weddings, homecomings, and celebrations. Each person taking a handle, drinking from the same cup. A small ritual that carries centuries of meaning.
We carry a beautiful selection in the shop and online, each one a piece of living Scottish tradition. If you've ever wanted to bring a little of that history home, you'll find it here.

You might have spotted this little sweater hanging by our fitting room and wondered, “What’s the story here?”
Well, it started life as a women’s extra-large Irish wool sweater...until one wash-and-dry cycle gave it a surprise makeover.
Now, it’s our honorary Wool Care Ambassador, reminding us all that Irish wool deserves tender, loving care. And that tiny onesie next to it? Just there for scale… and a good chuckle. ☘️
Don’t let this happen to your favorite sweater.
Stop by Donegal and see our beautiful collection of sweaters, lovingly crafted to last.
One of Marie's Favorite Things 💜
If you've spent any time chatting with Marie at Donegal Square, chances are you've heard her mention Ribena®.
For many people across Ireland and the UK, it's more than just a drink. It's a taste of childhood, family gatherings, and memories of home. Made from blackcurrants, Ribena® has been a pantry staple for generations and remains a favorite on both sides of the Irish Sea.
For Marie, it's one of those simple comforts that never loses its charm.
Whether enjoyed chilled, mixed with sparkling water, or simply poured over ice, Ribena® has a way of bringing back familiar memories with every sip.
Find Ribena® and more favorites in our pantry.
Knots, spirals, and woven motifs have been part of Celtic art for centuries, carrying stories of connection, continuity, and place.
There is a reason certain patterns continue to appear in Irish design.
These new scarves from Mulligans Ireland bring some of those familiar motifs into pieces made for everyday wear. Soft color, thoughtful design, and just enough detail to keep drawing your eye back.
Come see what's new at Donegal.☘️

There is something hopeful about seeing a rainbow over the Irish coast.
A reminder that beauty often appears when you least expect it, and that every landscape is shaped by the many paths that cross through it.
As we welcome June and the beginning of Pride Month, we're grateful for the people and stories that make our community vibrant, welcoming, and uniquely its own. 🌈☘️
Happy Pride Month from all of us at Donegal Square.

Sometimes a simple message says enough.
"The World is Your Oyster."
A small card on the shelf, but one that feels especially fitting this time of year as graduations are celebrated, plans are made, and new chapters begin.
Who comes to mind when you read it? ☘️
Some Scottish facts are easier to answer than others.
A quick round of true-or-false around the shop turned into a reminder that heritage has a way of sticking around...in traditions, stories, phrases, and the little things people still recognize immediately.
A little friendly competition never hurts, either.
How many did you get right?

Fresh from Inis and now beyond the fragrance shelf.
The newest arrivals from Inis Energy of the Sea bring that clean, ocean-fresh scent into a daily routine with:
- Sea Mineral Shampoo
- Sea Mineral Conditioner
- Sea Salt Hair Spray
Light, fresh, and easy to reach for. They are the kind of products that naturally find their place beside the sink or packed into a weekend bag.
Worth a slow look next time you’re in the shop.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸☘️
Donegal Square is closed today in observance of the holiday.
We’ll reopen Tuesday with regular business hours.
There’s a quiet kind of storytelling in the work of Wild Goose Studio.
Inspired by Irish history, landscape, and old Celtic symbols...each piece carries a sense of place with it. Something meant to be lived with, not just looked at.
These are the kinds of pieces people stop in front of a little longer.
Which one speaks to you most? ☘️
