The Council welcomes applications from suppliers of:
• Gourmet, artisan and ethnic food

Ballyclare May Fair, Queen’s Birthday
Celebrations and the NI Festival of Cycling)
• Park based events (including Shoreline Festival,
Dragon Boat Race, Party in the Park, Culture Day)
• Seasonal events (including Halloween and Christmas)
• Speciality markets
If appointed to the Select List, firms will be approached to provide catering at individual events and advised of
the appropriate stall fee. The Council may choose to have one or more stalls from the same category, or not to have stalls from a particular category for each event, depending on the theme of the event.
