Middletown Coffee – Ballymena Today Youth Team

Our Ballymena Today youth team have paid a visit to Middletown Coffee on Lower Mill Street in Ballymena. Lets see what they have to say: I’ve been travelling again – this time somewhere a bit closer to home… Middletown Coffee! It is a fairly new coffee shop here in Ballymena. But firstly, where does the name come from? Well, “Ballymena” actually means “Middle Town”! I have been there 3 or 4 times now, but it never seems to get old! The last time I went was with Cherry (again!), a few Saturdays ago. As soon as we walked in, you...

Afternoon Tea in Ballymena

Afternoon Tea in Ballymena is the perfect cheeky treat. The Creamery Can has just introduced their Afternoon Tea menu and we are very excited. If you don’t know anything about this little hidden gem in Glarryford, outside Ballymena then here is some information from their website: Everything on our menu has been baked on site using fresh local ingredients. This way we can stand over every product and give customers confidence and satisfaction in what we supply. Of course this takes time and effort but we believe it’s worth it! We are a family business – run by a family to create a wider family of customers who, like us, believe in quality ingredients and home made goodness. The dream has always been to re-create what happens any day round the Reid family kitchen table with friends and family. Where the aroma of freshly baked scones or savoury dishes is common place. A sense of hearth and home. A place where folk can gather and share good food and good conversation. And just check out that Afternoon Tea menu. What is better than a cuppa and good food on a wet weekend. Click here to find out more about the Creamery Can from their website. At the Creamery Can is in Glarryford outside of Ballymena they are open for business from 9-5 every Monday to Saturday. Find them located...

Ballymena today Music Tuesday

Music Tuesday makes its comeback here at Ballymena Today with a new release from one of our favourite Co. Antrim based musicians. We have raved about the New Ancestors here several times before – read about them here. We really enjoyed heir music last year and can think of no better band with which to start our new 2016 local artists playlist. New Ancestors have released their new song “We were made for Love” and it did not disappoint. It s the perfect melody to cheer you up after getting through blue Monday. If it sounds vaguely familiar then you might have caught them last night playing on Radio Ulster or you might have heard them recently on BBC’s Across the Line. “We were made to Love” is available to download for free here. We are excited to see these guys getting more and more airplay with every release.
