Watch a Special Behind-the-Scenes Look at Belfast Christmas Market on Channel 4

We’re thrilled to announce that Channel 4 will be airing an exclusive one-hour documentary about  our award-winning Belfast Christmas Market, a market that we first brought to the city a remarkable 20 years ago.

This special documentary offers a rare glimpse into the incredible effort, creativity, and collaboration it takes to design, build, deliver, and evaluate one of the most cherished seasonal events in the city of Belfast and the region. 

From the initial planning stages to the final days of the market, the documentary showcases our entire professional team in action. You’ll see how we work together to bring a magical experience to life while becoming an integral part of the local community.
