A new pop-up shop has opened its doors in Carrickfergus.
Located on High Street, the store will include a mix of artwork, handcrafted jewellery and range of books.
Speaking after visiting the entrepreneurs in each location, Mid and East Antrim Mayor, Councillor Lindsay Millar, said: “I was amazed by the efforts that each of the entrepreneurs have made to get ready for trading at the pop-up shops.
“The products and services on offer are truly outstanding and I would encourage everyone to call in and visit both shops.
“I am pleased that council, though Amplify, the integrated economic strategy for Mid and East Antrim, has supported this initiative, providing our local entrepreneurs the opportunity to showcase local talent and to test trade.”
The initiative has been running during the council's Enterprise Fortnight.
Another pop-up shop is open in Larne at Murrayfield Shopping Centre.
