Car Boot Art Fair 2026
Saturday 29th August 11am to 4pm
Tickets €12.50 – child admission free
Russborough’s Car Boot Art Fair returns for its 8th year, bringing together a brilliant line-up of artists for one of the most enjoyable and unconventional art events of the summer.
For one day, the traditional gallery setting is swapped for car boots, tables and pop-up displays, giving visitors the chance to meet artists face-to-face, discover original work and perhaps start, or add to, a collection.
Expect original paintings, prints, drawings and more, with work available across a range of prices. Whether you know exactly what you’re looking for or simply want to browse, the Car Boot Art Fair is designed to make buying art feel relaxed, accessible and fun.
There’ll also be live DJ sets, food, drinks, spot prizes and plenty of atmosphere throughout the day.

This year we’re adding something extra for everyone who books in advance.
