County Clare is home to many opportunities for shopping. There are an abundance of small, independent retailers selling local produce and arts and crafts, from pottery to ceramics and Celtic jewellery.


In terms of mainstream brands, however, County Clare does not host the plethora of major shopping centres that can be found in Dublin, Cork or Galway, and so for these requirements shoppers tend to stray further afield.

The Carft Showcase in Kilkee displays products from Irish craftworkers working in pottery, ceramics, china, glass, blown crystal, paintings, photographs and Celtic jewellery made from gold, silver and enamel.
