Solas Eco is an oasis of gardening, events, food and sustainability. Set on a 9-acre site, the development consists of 76,000 sq feet of shop, garden centre, cafe and food court, event spaces. In a previous life the site had been Ireland's largest steel fabrication works.
Like its centrepiece lighthouse, the project shines as a beacon of what is possible. This hub of Commerce, Food, Plants, Markets and Arts now employs over 100 people in Ireland’s Greenest Campus.
Solas hosts over 150 events a year from Yoga to French festivals, Plant swaps to clothes swaps, educational tours and gardening masterclasses.
Solas is also home to number of independent franchises who add to the rich variety of offerings from historical memorabilia to local full flavoured milk in glass bottles.
