A new Christmas market is coming to Belfast this month designed to showcase Northern Ireland's finest talent of small businesses.
The Creatives Collective Market is launching their first official Christmas Event this month, following the success of its previous summer editions.
Taking place in The MAC, the public can expect a range of high-quality local and creative products from a range of stall holders.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Miss Maja of Creatives Collective Market said: "The community in Northern Ireland is small but it's growing. We will be revealing a new stall holder each day, leading up to the market."
An exciting giveaway has also been organised for the Christmas Market with prizes kindly donated by past and present stallholders.
She continued: "Supporting small businesses is so much better than buying from Amazon because you are actually supporting a person, a family - you are paying for their food and their bills. You are really supporting a dream and making it come true.
"People come to these markets to specifically buy from you - even if they don't buy from everyone, they will still pick up a business card and follow them on Instagram."
Creatives Collective Market was established with the expertise of business owners Lauren, owner of LJKDesigns, a small business focusing on illustrations of Northern Ireland, and Maja, owner of Majukooo, an eco-friendly stationery, jewellery and homeware small business.
In August 2022, Creatives Collective Market launched a summer market and Co-founder Lauren says ‘most businesses had their best sales to date’.
"It's about community - if you were at the previous market and aren't going to this one you are still part of a community which supports you and empowers you to keep getting better at your craft," added Lauren.
The Market is taking place on Saturday 19th November from 11am-4pm, with free admission and you can keep updated on Instagram at @creativescollectivemarket
