The Causeway Coast & Glens Gift Card can be spent with over 200 businesses in the region like Tom Tom’s Bakery, The White House and Indigo Café in Portrush, Aquaholics in Portstewart, Bonds Jewellers, Moores, Infuse and Movie House in Coleraine, Apperley’s, Cordners and McAtamney’s in Ballymoney, alongside an array of local businesses in Cushendall, Limavady, Garvagh, Bushmills and Dungiven.

Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Councillor Dawn Huggins, said: “The Causeway Coast and Glens is one of the most unique areas of Northern Ireland with bustling market towns, vibrant seaside resorts and charming villages, and is undoubtedly home to some of the very best local businesses. We’re taking part in Northern Ireland’s Favourite Local Business 2026 so we can shine a light on these businesses and the positive impact they have on our communities.”21

The Causeway Coast & Glens Gift Card is part of the Town & City Gift Cards initiative active across Northern Ireland. 

Colin Munro, CEO of Miconex, said: “Support for local businesses has never been higher with 99% of people in our 2026 survey believing that more needs to be done to support them. Choosing the Causeway Coast & Glens Gift Card as a gift or staff reward, or nominating a business in Northern Ireland’s Favourite Local Business are easy ways to show your support for local.”
