Hookups in Ballymoney, without the whole town knowing

Ballymoney's drama festival goes back to 1933, which makes it the oldest in Ireland, so the town knows a good performance when it sees one. Your own entrances and exits can stay a lot quieter.

The 2021 census counted about 11,000 people in Ballymoney. Scottish settlers founded the town early in the 17th century, its name comes from the Irish Baile Monaidh, 'townland of the moor', and today it's a market town in County Antrim, part of the Causeway Coast and Glens borough, though its civil parish reaches across the county line into County Londonderry. The Ballymoney Show dates from 1902, which puts it among Northern Ireland's oldest agricultural shows, and the town's weekly paper, first printed in 1844, outsells every other weekly on the North Coast.

A paper with that much history means a town with a long memory, which is reason enough to keep sex in Ballymoney between the two people having it. On the site, that part is easy.

Meet in town or meet halfway

In Ballymoney

Keep a first meeting public and low-key: a coffee or a drink in the town centre, at an hour that suits you both. When the show or the drama festival is on, you've a ready-made reason to be out and about together. Pick somewhere you'd happily be seen having a coffee with a friend, and nobody has anything to wonder about.

Out of town

Coleraine is seven and a half miles away and Ballymena about 17, so meeting in one of them keeps you off your own doorstep, or pick somewhere between your two towns to keep it fair. Drive yourself, or have the trip home worked out before the first drink.

Three towns within 15 miles of Ballymoney

Three of the borough's other towns are close: Coleraine is seven and a half miles off, Portrush about ten and Ballycastle 14. Limavady, in the same borough, is around 17, and Antrim 27. That's a wide area for a small town to draw on, and it helps if you'd rather not match with someone from your own street: Ballycastle or Limavady is far enough to keep things separate and close enough for a weeknight. The miles count when your daily suggestions are put together, along with age and what someone's after, and VIP search lets you name a town and decide how far you'll go. There's more on how matching works on the features page.

Ballymoney, between ourselves

Can I hook up in Ballymoney without the neighbours finding out?

As far as the site goes, yes. Other members see a username you choose and your nearest town; your name, email and address stay hidden, which matters in a town of about 11,000. Block anyone who makes you uneasy and that's the end of their messages; the safety page explains how.

What should I put on my profile if I live in Ballymoney?

Set Ballymoney as your nearest town so the miles to Coleraine, Portrush or Ballymena are counted properly, add a couple of photos you're happy with, and say plainly what you're after. Leave out the details that would identify you locally, like where you work or which street you're on, until you've met and you're comfortable.

Is there anything on in Ballymoney for a date?

The drama festival, the oldest in Ireland, and the Ballymoney Show, founded in 1902, both give you a reason to be out together. Otherwise keep it simple: a drink in town, or a short drive to Coleraine.
