Taking place on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May, William Street will be transformed into a bustling open-air market, with traders travelling from across Europe and beyond. Visitors can enjoy a rich variety of international cuisine, from freshly cooked street food to indulgent sweet treats, alongside a wide selection of handcrafted goods and artisan products.

The International Spring Market is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the diversity and vibrancy of our town centre right in the heart of Mid Ulster. It’s always great to see William Street come alive with a wide range of traders and visitors coming together, creating a real buzz across Cookstown. I would encourage everyone to come along, soak up the atmosphere and support this much-loved event.

The weekend event will also feature live music and family-friendly entertainment, ensuring there is plenty to enjoy for visitors of all ages. Whether you’re looking to sample new cuisines, pick up a unique gift, or simply spend time with family and friends, the market offers something for everyone.
