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...

Roe Valley Speciality Market (Sat 16 May)

Head to Limavady's central Drumceatt Square to find a small, friendly Speciality Market. This outdoor market is a great spot to explore if you love local fresh food, handmade crafts, and fine art. The market is free to enter, and you can bring your dog as long as it's on a lead. While you're there, you'll be welcomed by local traders and discover a range of locally made products.

Rathlin Sound Festival (Thurs 21 - Sun 31 May)

The Rathlin Sound Festival highlights the island’s long connection to the sea through its food, music, and maritime history. Visitors can experience local traditions firsthand, enjoy live performances, and sample regional dishes. It is a great opportunity to have a fun day exploring the island’s heritage.

Armoy Road Races - The Race of Legends (Fri 24 - Sat 25 Jul)
