Shopping Protocols & Information
Our first priority today is to protect the health and well-being of our guests, our the teams working in the boutiques and restaurants, together with the wider community at Kildare Village. In accordance with the updated Government guidance issued on Monday 5 October, Kildare Village will remain open to welcome our guests from County Kildare. We respectfully remind our guests from elsewhere to follow the Government travel restrictions and we look forward to welcoming you back once the current restrictions are removed. Following Government guidelines, we have introduced a new code of conduct in the Village to ensure individual and collective responsibility to keep everyone as safe as possible.
Please see below our new code of conduct and Shopping Protocols to ensure guests and teams continue to enjoy the experience whilst respecting the safety measures in place.
Face Covering
In accordance with legislation it is mandatory to wear a face covering in the village and boutiques.New Deep Cleaning and Sanitisation Protocols
Prior to reopening we have deep cleaned the Village including all backstage areas and all arrival zones.
We have introduced new deep cleaning protocols across the Village, in the boutiques, in the restaurants and in all public spaces.
In addition we will be regularly sanitising all surfaces in the Village, in the boutiques, in the restaurants and in all public spaces, including washrooms, throughout the day. We are paying particular attention to the deep cleaning and sanitisation of all surfaces and touchpoints in our wash rooms and baby changing facilities.
Please note we may need to close an area to facilitate deep cleaning or sanitisation. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.Social Distancing
As per Government guidelines, Kildare Village is following social-distancing measures throughout the Village with the aid of floor markings to help you navigate your way around the Village. Social distance markings are also in situ inside the boutiques and while queuing in the restaurants and car parks.
Each boutique will be limiting the number of people able to enter at any one time due to social-distancing measures. In some instances there may be a waiting period to enter a boutique; we appreciate your patience at this time. For some boutiques there will be a digital queuing system in place whereby guests opting to join the virtual queue will be sent a text when it is their time to visit the boutique.

To ensure you have the most enjoyable weekend shopping experience with us, we’d like to invite you to book your visit in advance before travelling to the Village.
Pre-booking your visit isn’t essential but it helps when it’s busy. You can now pre-book your visit and reserve your complimentary parking space and discover the newly arrived summer collections in 100 boutiques at your preferred time!
Pre-booking does not guarantee priority access to the boutiques and cannot guarantee entry to the Village at your booked time when the village has reached its capacity. We encourage guests to register for digital queuing once in the Village”
