Twilight Market Wins Tourism Innovation Award

The first Twilight Market held at Belfast's St George's Market has won the Tourism Innovation Award at the Northern Ireland Tourism Awards 2016.

The first market in November 2015 St George's Market was transformed into a bustling bazaar showcasing the best of the city's food and drink scene.

The market beat stiff competition from Rockin' Boat Trips (Causeway Sea Fishing Company) and We Are Vertigo to scoop the prize at the awards ceremony in Derry/Londonderry, organised by Tourism Northern Ireland.

The award win comes in the same week that St George's hosted its second Twilight Market.

The event was extended to over two nights and welcomed over 18,000 people through its doors for chef demonstrations, live music, family activities and delicious culinary treats from local producers.
