MakersFood & drink Free entry

A council-run Christmas artisan market on Broadway in Larne town centre, with local food, bakes and handmade gifts over most of a week in mid-December.

Larne's Christmas Artisan Market is the second of Mid and East Antrim Borough Council's two December artisan markets, following the Ballymena market a week later. Stalls line Broadway in the town centre, selling artisan food, festive bakes, handmade decorations and gifts from local producers and makers.

In 2025 it traded from a Wednesday to the following Monday, closing on the Sunday, between 11am and 4pm. The council presents it as a way to bring shoppers into the town centre and support small local businesses in the run-up to Christmas.

It's an open-air street market, so there's no charge to browse.
