Traders are being invited to apply for a place at this year’s seasonally-themed Twilight Markets.

The ‘Spring Picnic’ will take place at St George’s Market on 9 and 10 May, followed by the ‘Summer Beach Party’ on 1 and 2 August and finally the ‘Twinkling Winter’ market on 7 and 8 November.

Last year’s two Twilight Markets between them attracted almost 46,500 visitors.  The expansion of the event to three dates in 2017 looks set to increase those numbers even further.

Belfast City Council is now inviting applications for artisan food and drink producers, artists and craftspeople seeking to be a part of the spring and summer events.  Go to www.belfastcity.gov.uk/twilightbelfast for details on criteria for traders, stall hire charges, and how to register your interest to trade.

The closing date for submissions is Monday 10 April.
