This enchanting event promises to get you in the Christmas spirit, and it's an occasion you won't want to miss.

Hilden Brewery - craft bar

We are also delighted to have Hilden Brewery host a craft bar with their own beers as well as hot mulled wine to keep you warm. 

The bar will stay open until 10pm so you can enjoy a drink with friends  after browsing the market in the twinkling Christmas lights in the city centre and listen to the live music. 

Live music and entertainment

The icing on our Christmas cake will be the Belfast Busking Band, who will hopefully get everyone singing, or at least humming along to Christmas tunes. Following them will be music from the stunning voice of Ria Maguire.

The band and Ria will be keeping the Christmas spirit alive while you explore the market and enjoy the festivities.

Mark your calendars and join us for a night of festive cheer, delicious treats, unique gifts, and making Christmas memories with us here in Lisburn.
