Looking for a relaxing day out, a special gift, or simply a treat for yourself? Visit The Courtyard in Carrickfergus, a hidden gem just on the edge of the medieval town. Explore our tranquil courtyard garden, brimming with blooms and bustling with local businesses. It's a gorgeous retreat that feels like Carrickfergus's best-kept secret!
In the front courtyard:
The Silver Store: Discover one of Ireland's largest selections of jewellery.
Javart: A treasure trove of unique, handcrafted gifts and homeware for every occasion.
The Whimsical World of Thomas Joseph: Home to the iconic Celtic gift range, where you can enjoy his pun-filled sheep collection or take home a bit of the Antrim Coast with his local scenery pieces.
Woolworx: Explore a variety of yarns, from Aran to 4-ply, plus craft supplies.
Quarter House Coffee: Enjoy a warm, cosy atmosphere and a great cup of coffee.
In the back courtyard:
The Secret Bookshelf: Lose yourself in four rooms of books, including a children’s section, a bargain room, and a geek-den.
Copperwood Candle Co.: Indulge your senses with beautiful fragrances, from wax melts and candles to diffusers and bath bombs.
@7 Bistro/Café: Indulge in all-day breakfast and comforting meals.
We also feature hairdressers, barbers, beauticians, and local businesses offering financial management, holistic and counselling services.
At The Courtyard, it’s not just a place for businesses to grow – we’re a true community. Our Talking Shop, set up by Positive Carrickfergus, invites innovative thinking and imagination. It provides an encouraging space for community-oriented ideas and experiments, where locals can come together to discuss and shape the future of Carrickfergus.
Just steps away from the castle and beside Marine Gardens, The Courtyard is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the best of Carrickfergus. With its striking blue-painted frontage, it’s easy to find. Come in, unwind, and be part of the growing community spirit at The Courtyard.
