Sticky Fingers Early Years Children’s Arts have successfully secured the bid to host a major European Children’s Conference and will be holding the Small Size - Big Festival in Newry from the 5th to the 9th of February.
Around Four Hundred delegates from across the European Union will be staying in Newry for the duration of the conference which brings with it €1m of external investment into the Newry economy.
There are planned activities, meetings and excursions organised for the visitors during their stay as part of the Conference programme.
However, there will be ‘down time’ in which local businesses, retailers, restaurateurs, night-time economy and service sector organisations should avail of potential business opportunities that the visitors can bring to Newry and the surrounding area.
Sticky Fingers, Newry Chamber of Commerce and Newry City Centre Management are hosting a public meeting to inform local businesses about the plans for the EU Children’s Conference in the hope of providing ideas and inspiration to local businesses on how to attract the visitors into their shops, businesses, restaurants, etc during their stay in Newry.
The meeting takes place this Thursday the 9th at 330pm in the Carroll Gallery, Sean Hollywood Arts Centre.
