Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens councillor Steven Callaghan welcomed this new market: “I am always impressed by the breadth of talent coming through from young people who have business ideas, particularly in relation to handmade and artisan products.
“I am very much looking forward to what will be an exciting new additional offer for Coleraine’s town centre.
“I’d encourage you to come along to meet these young makers behind fledging businesses, as I’m sure the talent on display will be impressive.”
