Established in 2002 to promote the Glens of Antrim as a tourist destination and help support promotion of the Causeway Coastal Route, Antrim Glens Tourism applied for funding towards a Story Telling Festival – targetting the public, schools and nursing homes in Ballycastle, Carnlough, Cushendall, Glenariff, Gracehill and Rathlin over 1st-4th October 2020. Recognising how the tourist industry has been hit by restrictions on travel and accommodation, the Committee agreed a grant of £1,000 to help put the Causeway Coast and Glens back on the map – assuming the festival is able to go ahead.
