Belfast Christmas Market - Belfast Continental Market - Christmas in Belfast 2019 - Northern Ireland

Belfast Christmas Market - Belfast Continental Market - Christmas in Belfast 2019 It's not Christmas in Belfast until City Hall is taken over by the Continental Christmas Market! Inside the Christmas market, there are lots of different things to experience; from buying Christmas gifts and goodies, sweets and desserts, and what everyone will pretty much admit they love the market for is the wide variety of food and beer tents. Belfast feels extremely festive with the market especially at night when it is illuminated by Christmas lights and the lights from the stalls themselves. The mix of sweet and savoury smells entice visitors to come inside and see what it could offer, which is exactly the same that happened with us with Belfast Christmas market which we have visited before but always come back to every single year. Inside this market, we strolled down, walking beside all these different stalls and watching what they are offering - buying a couple of things along the way :-) Walking down through the glowing streets at night or even walking inside these markets is the one thing that succeeds at delivering the feeling of that season and time of the year in the most right, successful, and correct way. If you are visiting Belfast or Northern Ireland this Christmas or the next, visiting the Belfast Christmas Market at least once on you trip is essential. We are Connolly Cove.

Rawdon's from England bought the land and its surroundings and built a mansion there until it was dismantled in the 1800s following the decay of its gardens after being used as a secondary home. The Gardens have since been revitalised and invested into what we call Moira Demesne today. The Demesne provides visitors with a peaceful getaway from the picturesque town and bustling roads and railways near by. The demesne covers around 40 acres of land providing plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the beauty of nature and the outdoors.
