About Ballycastle Town

Known for

The Ould Lammas Fair (Ireland's oldest commercial fair, held every August Bank Holiday), Fair Head's dramatic basalt cliffs, the Causeway Coast, and the Rathlin Island ferry

A little history

The Ould Lammas Fair has been held in Ballycastle every August Bank Holiday since the 17th century — Ireland's oldest commercial fair. The fair's traditional foods — yellow man (honeycomb toffee) and dulse (dried seaweed) — are unique. The Rathlin Island ferry connects to Northern Ireland's only inhabited offshore island.

Local tip

The Ould Lammas Fair in August is extraordinary. Yellow man and dulse are the must-try foods. Fair Head for vertiginous coastal views. The Rathlin Island ferry for puffins and seabirds.
