Wally O’Neill, together with Alice from Bullring Market and Alfie and Kristyna from Y21 Studios, has signed a lease on the former Creative Hub shopping mall, linking Mallen Street to Main Street. Main Streets everywhere face vacancy, decline, and rising social challenges. Across Ireland, commercial vacancy reached 14.5% in Q4 2024, with Wexford town at 13.2%. Eclectic Avenue is our response—a marketplace, cultural hub, and community space. It will showcase independent Wexford businesses, start-ups, live music, poetry, food, coffee, and a genuine community shopping experience. While the full project won’t open until 2026, we’ll launch an alternative Christmas Market this December. More details on participation will be shared soon. Red Books will continue operating from St Peter’s Square. This venture is guided by our vision of sustainable, community-focused retail rather than profit. Your support has always kept us going, and we hope you’ll join us in this next chapter.
