Youngsters are seen tearing around the dodgems track at Barry’s Amusements in Portrush, a daring tightrope walker balances high above the River Lagan, and crowds flock to Ballycastle for the Oul Lammas Fair.
Those are just some of the fascinating black-and-white images taking you back in time more than 40 years.
Elsewhere, one of Northern Ireland’s 1982 World Cup heroes is pictured enjoying an emotional family reunion, competitors are seen preparing for the disco dancing championship, and revellers are seen enjoying the Radio One Roadshow.
Can you spot yourself, an old friend or anyone else you recognise in these photos from 1980, 1981, 1982, and do they bring back any happy 80s memories?
For more Northern Ireland nostalgia, take a look at our retro photo gallery capturing the joy of noughties days out.

It added: "Chips, costing a moderate 25p on Sunday, were an incredible 50p on Monday, but revellers were prepared to pay." | Belfast News Letter
