Hosted by radio presenter Stuart Robinson, guests were entertained by the Courtyard Community Choir with an array of Christmas carols, as well as the Jukebox Jurors who brought plenty of festive cheer.
The Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Mark Cooper BEM commented, “It was fantastic to see such a wide representation right across the borough. The work they carry out in the local community is exceptional and I am delighted that we are able to celebrate them and all of their efforts in making our borough such a fantastic place to live.”
The event raised over £1700 for the Mayor’s three charities, NI Children’s Hospice, Action Deaf Youth and The RVH Liver Support Group.
