#Shoplocal for food and gifts in the #Burrenlowlands

Hi all,

Back in March I wrote a very similar post just as we started Lockdown. We are now “almost” halfway our 6 weeks of “Level 5” restrictions, and I thought it was time to update the list of local businesses offering (local) Delivery and Take Away in the #BurrenLowlands. I have also added Kilcolgan and Clarinbridge as they are bordering with the Burren Lowlands 🙂

As we are now fast approaching Christmas I have also added a list of companies selling gifts you can buy locally via their online stores. Compiling the list made me realize that there are a few new businesses that have started since the first lockdown, so those deserve an extra special shout out! Sadly other businesses did not reopen, hopefully, they will reopen once conditions improve

Where to shop in the #burrenlowlands ?

You have probably done some shopping and are preparing to go shopping again soon (if you are lucky enough to have transport). If you prefer to have your shopping/food/gifts delivered, I have made a handy list to help you plan your shopping. Please share it with someone who may not have access to social media and that are looking for information.

Many businesses in South Galway and North Clare are offering take-away/collection or home delivery services, please always check when you are placing your order, as things can change. Below info is accurate as of the 27th of November.

Want to get added or know a business? Click on the contact button I will add you to the below list.

Following are some of the Local Facebook pages I recommend you follow: Burren Lowlands ; South Galway Vision ;South Galway Floods What’s on in Gort Group , Gort River Walk , Kinvara Alive and of course Workinglivingtravellinginireland and a new group I recently set up called Gort Cycle Trails
