A look back at the Lughnasa Fair at Carrickfergus Castle between 2011-2014

Carrickfergus Castle has been the backdrop for countless community events through the years, including the Lughnasa Fair.

The medieval-themed summer festival was staged annually at the castle for over 40 years before budget constraints sadly prevented its return in 2015.

We’ve had a look in the archives and turned up these fab throwback photos from the event between 2011 and 2014.

Can you spot any familiar faces?
