Local Businesses Win Free Stall At Christmas Market
Two local start-up businesses have won an annual competition by Market Place, the operators of the Christmas Market, to win a free stall for this year's five-week event.
The winners are Belfast Beard Company and Fable Heart.
Belfast Beard Company manufactures and sells male grooming products online at markets and wholesale. Fable Heart design and make clothing and accessories for the children's dress up and style market. Products include capes, crowns, wings and wands, all made from Irish linen.
Allan Hartwell, Market Place Managing Director, said: "We are very passionate about our 'Pitch Perfect' competition as a mechanism for us to support new local businesses.
"It reflects how strongly we take our responsibility to Belfast and Northern Ireland that we again decided to sponsor not one but two businesses this year. Of course, this also demonstrates the range of high quality businesses in this region that can benefit from this kind of support.
"For the Belfast Beard Company and Fable Heart, this will be a steep learning-curve but one for which we feel they're more than prepared. We'll be behind them all the way and have no doubt that trading at the Belfast Christmas Market will provide a very solid foundation for their businesses in the future."
The 'Pitch Perfect' competition is open to businesses that have been trading for more than six months but less than two years.
The Belfast Christmas Market opens on Saturday 19 November at 12 noon and closes on Thursday 22 December at 6pm. It opens from 10am to 8pm Monday to Friday, 10am to 10pm from Thursday to Saturday, and from 1pm to 6pm on Sunday.
