Everything worth getting out for in County Tyrone this weekend — 14 events on Saturday 24 October and Sunday 25 October. This page rebuilds every hour, so it is current.
Best first, not soonest first. These are ranked by how much of a moment they actually are — one-off festivals, markets and shows come above things that happen to be open anyway.
Spread across the country on purpose. We cap how many listings any one town can take, so this is not just twenty things in Belfast. If nothing here is near you, the map will find what is.
Always check the organiser’s page before you travel. We list what has been published, but times change, tickets sell out and outdoor events get cancelled for weather. Every listing links straight to the source.
Free is marked. Anything showing “Free” costs nothing to attend. Northern Ireland has a lot of these — markets, trails, park events and council days out — and they are usually the best of a weekend with children.
