A council-run Christmas artisan market of local food producers and makers in Ballymena town centre, trading for most of a week in early December.
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council runs a Christmas Artisan Market in Ballymena town centre each December, set up in Wellington Court. Local producers and makers sell artisan food, festive bakes, handmade decorations and gifts.
In 2025 it traded for most of a week, from a Wednesday to the following Monday, closing on the Sunday, with daytime hours of 11am to 4pm. It forms part of the borough's wider Christmas programme alongside the town's lights switch-on. A sister market runs in Larne the following week.
It is an open-air town-centre market, so there's no charge to browse.
