It’s hard to escape the fact that Christmas comes early every year, no sooner have we put away the witch’s hats and the carved pumpkins, John Lewis melts our hearts with tales of best friends & penguin love stories on Christmas morning. Belfast is no different; our beautiful City is transformed over-night into a spirit-warming winter wonderland with twinkling lights and the aroma of Glühwein escaping from the festive Christmas market adorning our majestic City Hall.
We have created the perfect package for you and your loved ones to get into the festive spirit and kick start that ever essential Christmas shopping!

Due to its ever growing popularity the Belfast Christmas Market delighted it’s ‘fans’ by opening earlier than usual on the 15th November, staying with us right through the Christmas period up to the 21st December, just in time to pack up and make it home for a visit from the ‘big man’ himself!
Another ‘must see’ is St Georges Market which is without doubt an institution in itself, built in 1890-1896 it is one of Belfast City’s oldest attractions, not only due to the magnificent building itself but due the many personalities that work within its walls! Since its £4.5m refurbishment in 1997, this charming Victorian building offers one of the most vibrant and colourful destinations for locals & tourists alike. The atmosphere is always friendly & relaxed with the fragrance of foods from around the globe simmering away in the background. If it’s just kicking back for a lazy Sunday Morning coffee, catching up with friends over the ‘to die for’ raspberry & pistachio tart or routing through the numerous craft and antique stalls, St Georges Variety Market is the place for you!
