What's On along the Causeway Coastal Route

Everything you see as you make your way along the Causeway Coastal Route will etch itself into your memory. Discover 120 miles of Northern Ireland's coastal landscapes and lustrous scenery. The route cuts through a rich tapestry of stunning bays and harbours, luscious green glens, rolling hills, rivers, and lakes. But beyond the splendour of the scenery are the incredible people you'll meet and their celebrations in song and dance, in food and the fairs and festivals that bring them together every year. Some highlights include...

Burn's Supper (Fri 23 Jan)

Come along to Magheramorne Estate for an evening of Scottish tradition. The event begins at 7.30pm with a small whisky, followed by a five-course dinner that highlights the best flavours of Scotland. Guests will dine together at long tables in the ballroom as the sounds of pipes, drums, and traditional dancing fill the room. The dress code is black tie or Highland wear, and rooms are available if you would like to stay the night.

Glenarm Castle Tulip Festival 2026 (Sat 2 - Mon 4 May)

Visit Glenarm Castle for the annual Tulip Festival. Held over the May Bank Holiday weekend, the event features thousands of tulips in bloom throughout the walled garden. Alongside the displays, you can enjoy live music, local food, and various craft stalls. With carnival rides and a mini Land Rover course for children, it is a practical choice for a family day out or a quiet walk in the grounds.

Briggs Equipment North West 200 (Mon 4 - Sat 9 May)

Every May, the Causeway Coastal Route in Northern Ireland becomes the setting for the North West 200. Riders will compete on an 8.9-mile circuit that connects the towns of Portrush, Portstewart, and Coleraine. It is a week-long festival that includes practice sessions, evening entertainment, and various viewing areas, offering a chance to see world-class racing in a unique coastal location.
