Light refreshments will be served alongside a number of stalls including cakes, bric-a-brac, jewellery, merchandise and much more. This event is part funded by Antrim Borough Council.

On the 18th the sanctuary hosts the annual motorcycle ride out alongside the Quay Vipers Motorcycle Club.

The bikes will leave Carrickfergus Harbour car park at around 1pm with entertainment beforehand should anyone wish to turn up early.

Carolyn Stewart, one of their patrons, will be there to support the work and will start the ride out. The ride out will cover a new route this year ending at the Sanctuary premises, where they’ll be entertainment and refreshments.
