<p><strong>Indoor Artisan Markets at the Marine Hotel, Ballycastle</strong></p> <p>During the off season, when some outdoor markets pause due to the Northern Irish coastal climate, NNCG brings its artisan markets indoors in Ballycastle.</p> <p>Hosted at the Marine Hotel, these events offer a warm and welcoming space to browse, shop, and enjoy the atmosphere in comfort.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Set right along the Ballycastle seafront, the Marine Hotel 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, a coffee, lunch, or a relaxed afternoon by the sea.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Free entry.<br> Dog friendly.<br> Everyone welcome.</p> <p><strong>Trading Information</strong></p> <p><strong>Makers Market (Artisan)</strong></p> <p>Traders must be the maker, grower, or producer of the products they sell.</p> <p>Where available, food producers should use Northern Ireland or Irish produced ingredients.</p> <p>All items must be designed, created, baked, brewed, grown, or produced by the trader’s own business and demonstrate a good standard of quality and finish.</p> <p>Lower quality crafted or assembled items are not permitted within artisan categories.</p> <p>Resale, bought in, or mass produced items are not permitted.</p> <p><strong>Trading Hours</strong></p> <p>Trading hours: 11am to 4pm<br> Set up: 8.30am to 10.15am</p> <p><strong>Venue</strong></p> <p>Marine Hotel<br> Ballycastle<br> BT54 6BN</p> <p>Indoor market</p> <p><strong>Pitch Information</strong></p> <p>6ft and 8ft pitches available<br> Tables are not provided<br> Table hire available</p> <p>Lighting is poor.
