FREE Event: Royal Hillsborough Farmers Market
Summer in Royal Hillsborough just wouldn’t be the same without its much-loved Farmers Market. Mark your calendars for Saturday 26th July, when The Dark Walk will once again be transformed into a bustling showcase of artisan food, drink, crafts, and local talent.
Running from 10am to 4pm, the market is a celebration of the best Northern Ireland has to offer, blending top-quality produce with the charm of one of the country’s most picturesque villages.
A Feast for the Tastebuds
Expect a line-up that’s as varied as it is delicious. From seasoned favourites to exciting newcomers, this year’s traders include some of the Lisburn & Castlereagh area’s finest - Tori’s Coffee, Cakes and Bakes, Krumb Bakery, and RARE Grazing - alongside a mouth-watering selection of specialist street food vendors.
Coffee lovers can grab their fix from Loki’s Coffee or The Hatch, pizza fans will flock to Pizza Street, and there’s flavour-packed inspiration from The Hundredth Monkey, The Curious Farmer, and C.B. Cheesy’s. Whether you’re craving something sweet, savoury, or a little bit indulgent, you’ll find it here.
More Than Just Food
The market isn’t only about food and drink, it’s a celebration of local creativity. Browse handcrafted homewares, jewellery, and skincare from a talented line-up of Northern Ireland makers, including Amber Jordan Design, Thomas Powell Pottery, Susanna Banks Art, Wild About Soaps, and Fiddle Fig. Every piece comes with a story and a personal touch you simply won’t find on the high street.
And don’t forget your four-legged friends, Barkelicious Bakes will be on hand with special treats to keep tails wagging.
A Perfect Village Day Out
One of the best parts about the Royal Hillsborough Farmers Market? The setting. The Dark Walk is a beautiful tree-lined lane leading you down to the entertainment and seating area in front of the historic Hillsborough Fort - a picture-perfect spot to pause, enjoy some live entertainment, and tuck into your market finds.
Beyond the market, the village itself is bursting with charm. Stroll past historic buildings, admire the beautifully kept public spaces, and explore the independent shops, cafés, and restaurants that make Royal Hillsborough so unique.
