Lough Neagh Artisans Market
Artisan Market
The Lough Neagh Artisans market, located at the Lock Keeper’s cottage in Toome, is a vibrant showcase of local culture and talent. Open on select Sundays, visitors can explore an array of artisan crafts, arts, and food that reflect the region’s unique heritage. From handmade crafts to intricate artwork, each stall offers something special. Food enthusiasts will be tempted by the delightful selection of artisanal food products and flavorful street food, each providing a culinary journey through local traditions and tastes. Boat trips on the River Bann or Lough Neagh (weather depending) offer a chance to take in the scenery, while live entertainment adds to the festive ambiance. Set at the point where Lough Neagh meets the River Bann, the market not only provides an enriching experience but also presents captivating views of the landscape. The Lock Keepers Cottage will be open as usual selling hot drinks, a selection of homebakes, soup and sandwiches.
