This guide is written and paid for by Cross Atlantic Productions, which was founded in Castlegregory in 2015 to breathe life into the villages of the Dingle Peninsula's north coast.
Cross Atlantic partnered with Original Kerry, the network for craft makers based in County Kerry. It provides support and marketing to Kerry's craft-making enterprises, whose workshops are located across the county, so that visitors can bring home an original gift bought directly from the maker. The success of the Original Kerry Shop in Castlegregory encouraged the company to take a prime location in Dingle, where the Original Kerry Shop thrives today, offering the finest collection of Kerry-made artisanal products.
With a focus on the life of the smaller villages, Cross Atlantic dedicates the revenues of the Dingle store to funding the annual Classical Sessions music festival in Castlegregory and Brandon, and to further artistic and theatrical projects along the north coast in the years to come. This guide is part of the same work.
You can support all of it simply by shopping there. The Original Kerry Shop is next to the SPAR in Dingle, and it is listed with everything else on our things to do page.
