50 years ago armed with my Grandmothers knowledge, experience and encouragement my parents Noreen & Alf followed in her footsteps and laid the foundations for what is to-day the Skellig Gift Store.

It was originally called the Waterville Craft Market after a group of Craft Workers from the Skellig Region came together to present their products exclusively in one place. This is now complemented by work from neighbouring counties, which is simply the best of Irish Craft and design. We still place special emphasis on Kerry Crafts and currently 50% of our suppliers are of Kerry origin. It is our intention to maintain this tradition into the future.

The store is still here in Waterville. If you can, please do come and visit. We have a long established reputation as a destination store for visitors to Kerry. Check out our blog as we start the process of transforming the store with our new branding.
