Ballymena Today loves Flossy Treats Candy Cart

Wedding season is nearly upon us and at Ballymena Today we love the current trend to have Sweet Tables at your wedding. In Northern Ireland weddings can be a lengthly affair, beginning with the ceremony, then travelling, then getting photographs taken, then speeches and then the meal. Wedding Sweet Tables are an excellent way to keep you guests entertained, and their sugar levels up, until the end of the day. We first spotted this trend on P’intrest and love all the variations that have been appearing – donuts, cupcakes etc. But we feel like you just cant beat the traditional pretty sweets set up to please you wedding guests. Ballymena Today loves Flossy Treats Candy Cart The best local Northern Ireland variation on the Wedding Sweet Table that we have spotted is the Victorian Candy Card from Ballymena Business Flossy Treats. We love how they have styled their cute table to be perfect for a romantic white wedding. We also love their special little touches like the Sweet Ferris Wheel which lets wedding guests fill up their own pick and mix bag to keep them happy on your wedding day. With lots of sweets to choose from you can pick you favourites – Ferrero Rocher, Giant Strawberries, Liquorice Allsorts – there is something for everyone.  Flossy Treats also supply pretty sweet-themed wedding favours, a chocolate fountain and candy floss. The Flossy...

Running has really gathered momentum in Ballymena over the past few years thanks to the work of Ballymena Runners. Ballymena Runners helped establish Ecos parkrun in 2012. Runners of all ages and abilities turn up on a Saturday morning and have a go at the course which winds its way around Ecos park. They stay on for refreshments and a chat and it is organised each week by the runners themselves. It is free to join in and you just need to register once online at www.parkrun.org.uk If you have been running for years or are looking for something to motivate you to improve your fitness then head down to the Ecos parkrun.
