Hotels in Ballymena
Once known for its bustling agricultural festival, Ballymena has been a market settlement since the 17th century, although this settlement has existed since at least the 7th century.
A history
Ballymena did not develop into a busy community until after the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, when large numbers of English farmers moved to the area to create plantations. The town was overlooked by a striking medieval castle, although this was removed in the 18th century and replaced with a country mansion by the late 19th century. By 1850, Ballymena was already home to more than 6,000 residents, and celebrated the opening of the 12 acre People's Park in 1870, marking the heart of the community.
The Braid
Visit The Braid, a popular museum and arts centre that showcases centuries of local heritage and is the home of the Braid Music Club. This family friendly venue explores Antrim's early Medieval Christian heritage, the rapid growth of Ballymena's textiles industry in the 19th century, and the history of the affluent Adair family and their role in the growth of the town.
