Over just a few short weeks, the town has witnessed an encouraging boost in enterprise, creativity, and community-focused spaces—signalling a bright winter season and an even more promising year ahead.

One of the biggest highlights has been the opening of Powerhouse Padel, bringing one of the world’s fastest-growing sports right to Coleraine. The facility has already generated excitement among locals looking for fun new ways to stay active, socialise, and try something different.

Also adding to the momentum, Steel Harpy Gaming is set to open this weekend on New Row. The store will supply tabletop enthusiasts with paints, airbrushes, and products from major brands, including Games Workshop, Warlord Games and Airfix, offering a fantastic new resource for hobbyists in the borough.

A short walk away on Railway Road, Misfit Hobbies is preparing to open in the coming weeks. The shop will also serve fresh tea and coffee and feature dedicated play tables where visitors can sit in, relax, and enjoy an ever-growing library of board games. It’s set to become a welcoming, creative space for players, collectors, and families alike.

Also joining Railway Road is The Wee Coffee Window, a charming new spot that will give passers-by a perfect place to grab a warm drink and enjoy a friendly local touch.

Meanwhile, Church Street recently welcomed Top Darts, which has already begun attracting locals with its fun, social atmosphere and fresh entertainment option in the heart of the town centre.

Adding to the sense of optimism, Explore Causeway Coast & Glens is aware of a couple of other businesses currently considering premises in the town centre, with expected openings in the New Year.
