Big Breakfast at St Macartin's Cathedral

St Macartin’s Cathedral in Enniskillen holds its Big Breakfast on Saturday, 26 September 2026, from 9:00am to 12:30pm. It is a parish social rather than a fundraiser with a stated target, an open invitation for parishioners to come in for a cooked breakfast and bring family and friends along. The cathedral’s own announcement simply describes it as a morning where, in its words, “all are most welcome to attend.”

What to expect

The format follows the usual church hall breakfast pattern: a cooked breakfast served over several hours rather than at a fixed sitting, so people can call in at whatever point suits their Saturday morning. It runs for three and a half hours, long enough to cover a steady stream of visitors rather than one big rush. St Macartin’s is the Church of Ireland cathedral for the Diocese of Clogher and sits at the centre of Enniskillen’s religious and civic life, its spire a landmark on the town’s skyline. Events like this tend to draw a wider circle than a single parish congregation, including past parishioners, visitors to the town, and people who simply spot the notice on the church door and decide to call in.

Getting there

St Macartin’s Cathedral stands on East Bridge Street in the centre of Enniskillen, a short walk from the bus station, the town’s main car parks, and the shops on the High Street.

While you’re in Enniskillen

Enniskillen’s island town centre is compact enough to explore on foot, with Enniskillen Castle and the Buttermarket craft courtyard both a short walk from the cathedral. There is more to see in Enniskillen and across Co. Fermanagh.
