The Gaiety, a former dancehall built in 1938, was repurposed as an antique and vintage store in 2011 by Clodagh O’Connor and Sean McCaughey. Clodagh, a psychotherapist, juggles a psychotherapy practice and The Gaiety (with some heavy lifting from Sean).

We love anything that has a story, anything that wants to be re-loved, re-used and re-housed. Nothing pleases us more than seeing something being upcycled then delivered to its new home. Every 6 weeks we set off for England, seeking out all the wonderful antique goodies that we can quite literally, cram into our truck.

"The pieces that find a home in The Gaiety come literally from all over the world and we travel far and wide to find beautiful and interesting pieces which we bring back and display in the treasure troves of The Gaiety."
