Belfast Christmas Market

As part of the celebrations, the Christmas Market will transport you to the Victorian era with its Dickensian-themed Christmas market experience. On the opening weekend (16th-17th Nov) and again on the third weekend (30th Nov-1st Dec), you’ll be immersed in the charm of Dickens' world. Stroll through the market alongside iconic characters from his stories, while enjoying enchanting storytelling and lively performances that bring his works to life.

With over 100 international and local traders, the festive village offers a delightful array of quality Christmas fayre, handcrafted goods, and bespoke artisan products. Set against the magnificent backdrop of Belfast City Hall, the market is an ideal destination for coach parties, day-trippers, and city shoppers alike, offering the perfect place to tick off your holiday shopping list.

Treat yourself to an exotic meat burger, sip on a warming mug of Glühwein, or indulge in Italian chocolates and speciality cheeses from around the globe. Relax at the outdoor festive food court, soak in the magical atmosphere, and watch the world go by in true Christmas spirit.

Belfast Christmas Market has something for everyone, including the little ones. Bring the children to meet Santa in his enchanting grotto, or enjoy a bird's eye view of the market from the top of the vintage helter-skelter.

The market opens on the 16th of November at 12 noon—don’t miss out!

(Monday - Wednesday bars remain open until 9pm, Thursday - Saturday bars remain open until 11pm)
