Santa is coming to town!

His appearance will come one week after the Christmas lights switch on by Mid & East Antrim Council at The Braid from 6-8pm on November 12 which will also feature the launch by Ballymena BID (Business Improvement District) of their Christmas video which will be promoted through social media and the ‘Mi Ballymena’ app.

Before all that, the popular annual Ballymena Discount Day’ will dawn on Thursday, November 5, when the U105 roadshow will be at the Bandstand in the afternoon with live music on the streets to complement the discounts on offer by the traders.

Throughout November/December Ballymena BID will be running a festive campaign to promote Christmas in the town and will also be producing a brochure detailing all town centre events, promotions and offers taking place in the run up to December 25, which is scheduled to be distributed by the end of October.
