Event Details

06/04/2026 to 13/12/2026

Indoor Artisan Markets at the Marine Hotel, Ballycastle During the off season, when some outdoor markets pause due to the Northern Irish coastal climate, NNCG brings its artisan markets indoors in Ballycastle. Hosted at the Marine Hotel, these events offer a warm and welcoming space to browse, shop, and enjoy the atmosphere in comfort. Each market features a carefully curated mix of local food producers, artists and crafters. You will find everything from handmade food and fresh local produce to unique arts, crafts and gifts. Whether you are shopping for something special, looking for gifts, discovering new makers, or simply enjoying a relaxed day out by the seaside, there is something for everyone. More than just a market, these are community focused experiences. They offer the chance to meet the people behind the products, hear their stories, and support small local businesses in a friendly, laid back setting. Set right along the Ballycastle seafront, the venue is perfectly placed for a day out. With the beach and promenade just outside, and the hotel’s restaurant and coffee bar on site, it is easy to combine a visit to the market with: • 🌊 A coastal walk along the seafront • ☕ Coffee and cake • 🍴 Lunch in the hotel • 🏖️ A relaxed afternoon by the sea Held throughout the year for seasonal events such as Easter, Halloween and Christmas, NNCG’s indoor markets in Ballycastle offer a cosy atmosphere, plenty of local charm, and lots of inspiration for gifts and seasonal treats.
