We are delighted to announce the launch of its brand-new City Centre Events Guide for Summer 2025. Packed with over 30 free events taking place in Lisburn from May to September this vibrant programme promises something for everyone. Whether you’re planning a family day out, catching up with friends, or simply exploring the city, take time to check out what’s on!
From tea dances and artisan markets to movie afternoons, circus performers, live music, and a hanging basket workshop, the heart of Lisburn is set to come alive with activity. Market Square provides the ideal location for our events, a lively hub for the community and visitors to come together and enjoy all the city has to offer.
Don’t miss the much-loved “Guess How Much I Love You” Trail. Take a stroll through the city and discover beautifully carved benches, endearing sculptures, and stunning artwork inspired by the classic children’s book, perfect for families and fans of all ages.
The ‘Big Screen in the Square’ will once again be showing live sporting events, family movies and daily programmes. Bring a picnic and enjoy a relaxed afternoon in the city while children cool off in the water jets or play with giant toys set out throughout the week, weather permitting, of course!
Alderman Amanda Grehan, Chair of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council’s Regeneration and Growth committee, said:
“Market Square is a hub of activity and family fun. We’re excited to launch another extensive summer events programme, with something for everyone to enjoy. This year’s events will lead right through to our flagship Lisburn Light Festival, which will return in November and run until 22nd December. While you're visiting, we encourage you to make the most of the city by calling into your favourite local café, shop, bar or restaurant.”
You can pick up your free copy of the Lisburn City Centre Events Guide from the Irish Linen Museum or the Visitor Information Centre, or view it online at Facebook.com/LisburnCityCentre.
