This year's Belfast Christmas Market opened at noon on Saturday, just hours before the city's festive lights were switched on by the lord mayor. It is the 18th year that the market has been hosted in the grounds of City Hall and many international stall-holders are returning to sell their goods. The ticket-only event featured music, dance and an excerpt from the Lyric Theatre's musical Hansel and Gretel.

Belfast was one of the first cities in Northern Ireland to switch on its festive lights this year, along with Bangor in County Down, while other cities and towns will host their ceremonies next week
