What's On in Antrim

Antrim, or the land of the ‘lone-ridge’, is a land steeped in legend and myth. Fairies and giants have pranced and pounded their ways through the famous Nine Glens and along the rugged coastline. All the while they’ve existed alongside the residents of towns like Ballymena and Cushendall who honour and celebrate them in their annual fairs and festivals. Just like the fairies and giants, the people of County Antrim are always up to something fun and fantastical!

Folk Wisdom 2026 (Sat 30 - Sun 31 May)

Folk Wisdom is a weekend event focused on traditional skills, heritage farming, and local history. Visitors can learn about six key areas: traditional crafts, heritage crops and livestock, home restoration, environmental care, natural wellbeing, and the stories of the local area. By exploring these "old ways," the event aims to show how simpler, time-honoured methods can help restore the land and improve our modern lives.

Naturally North Coast & Glens Makers Market at Ballycastle Sea Front (Sun 21 June)

The market is free to enter and dog-friendly, making it a convenient stop for those visiting the beach or travelling along the Causeway Coastal Route.

Antrim might be home to Northern Ireland’s capital Belfast, but its market towns, villages and country castles offer lots to see, lots to eat and even more to experience. As they might say in these parts, get stuck in.
