Bangor Rest of NI
Bangor boasts the largest marina in Ireland, a stunning coastline to explore, and sandy beaches where year-round sea swimming is experiencing a major revival. We have two yacht clubs, five golf courses, and beautiful parks and woodland walks. The 2,000 acre Clandeboye Estate (home to the Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava), Crawfordsburn Country Park, Bangor Castle and Museum, and the WW2 Grey Point Fort all lie within the town’s greater area.

Bangor town centre is home to dozens of authentic pubs, restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy regular free music sessions and programmed Festival events, while mixing with the locals.

And if you have a ticket to a Festival event, look out for discounts and deals at more than 100 local businesses sporting a Festival Friends window sticker.
