‘Get Into Glengormley’ campaign is launched

As part of the Get Into Glengormley campaign the event will host an Easter egg trail, face painters, arts and crafts, street entertainment, balloon modelling and children’s characters.

The campaign has been organised to highlight the wealth of shops, services and entertainment Glengormley has to offer.

Everything you need is on your doorstep from a butcher to hairdressers, opticians to dentists, solicitors to estate agents, cafes to restaurants, the Movie House cinema and the SportsBowl.

The town, in conjunction with the work in Ballyclare, is undergoing a facelift as part of the Newtownabbey town centre revitalisation project funded by the Department of Social Development and the council.

The project is supported by both town’s traders’ associations and as part of the work businesses have recently benefitted from works to frontages, including shopfronts, signage, painting and new pubic art works.

Get Into Glengormley kicks off with the Easter family fun day this Saturday, March 23 between 12pm and 4pm at the Ferbro Buildings on the Ballyclare Road.

To support the launch and get more people to visit Glengormley, the local businesses have also provided some great local offers on shopping, eating out and entertainment.

Lisa O’Kane tourism and events manager at Newtownabbey Borough Council said: “We are delighted to launch the Get Into Glengormley campaign and support local businesses.

“We hope the revitalisation scheme combined with this new campaign will attract more people to discover what’s on their doorstep in Glengormley.”
