It’ll also be coming back a week into the market rather than commencing business at the same time. A signature part of Galway’s Christmas festivities, the beer tent will be opening in Eyre Square on Friday 14 November, running through to Wednesday 31 December. In a post to social media, it said that due to licensing restrictions “following objections from a small cohort of local publicans, the Christmas Market beer tent will not be allowed to open for the first week of the market”. “Due to the restrictions imposed we will be unable to serve the traditional 1 litre steins from Monday to Thursday,” it added.
