Carrickfergus Hookups: Carrickfergus Women Want to Meet

Your next casual evening could start under the castle in Carrickfergus.

Casual sex in Carrickfergus, County Antrim's oldest town

The castle came first. It went up in the late 12th century as the capital of the Earldom of Ulster, and when the earldom collapsed it stayed on as the only English outpost in Ulster for four more centuries. It outlasted the earldom it served, which is more staying power than most first dates manage. The town around it is the oldest in County Antrim and one of the oldest in Ireland, standing on the north shore of Belfast Lough.

About 28,000 people live here now. The town's own borough council was folded into Mid and East Antrim in 2015, but it still sits in the Belfast Metropolitan Area, 11 miles from the city. That's a handy pairing for a hookup: a proper town of your own for a quiet first drink, and Belfast for the nights that deserve more.

Carrickfergus is part of the Belfast Metropolitan Area, so some of your matches may well live outside town. Browse members, swipe right for yes and left for no, and a match from the next town along is only a flick away.

Meet at the castle, walk the shore

The castle is the obvious landmark to name for a first meeting, and a stroll along the lough shore afterwards tells you whether the conversation is worth carrying on.

Newtownabbey is under six miles away, Bangor under seven and Larne a little over nine, with Belfast 11 miles off for a bigger night out. In a town of 28,000 you may well bump into someone you know, so it helps that members get a username and a nearest town instead of your real name or address.

Tell a friend where you're going, sort out your way home before you set off, and read our safety page for how blocking and reporting work.
