Belfast's annual spring fair, held free of charge at Malone House.
The Spring Fair returns to Malone House in Belfast on Saturday 17 April and Sunday 18 April 2027, running from 1.30pm to 5.30pm both days. It's billed as the city's annual spring event, so if you've been to it in previous years, you'll know the general shape of it: a couple of afternoons set up for a stroll through the stalls when the weather finally starts to turn.
Because it runs across two days, you've got a bit of choice. If Saturday is too busy, Sunday is there as a second chance, and both afternoons run for the same four hours. It's an afternoon thing rather than a whole-day affair, so it fits easily around a normal weekend without taking over the lot. The timing—starting at half-past one and wrapping up by half-past five—makes it easy enough to drop into without having to clear your entire Saturday or Sunday.

Entry is free, so there's no ticket to book or queue for in advance. You just turn up at Malone House whenever suits you best. If you're planning to make a day of it, the two-day spread means you can split your time across the weekend rather than trying to see everything in one go. It's a straightforward setup: two afternoons, free entry, and the same timings for both.
