AND here is the news….

UTV broadcasters Sarah Clarke and Marc Mallett will be turning the spotlight on the people of Northern Ireland when they host this year’s Ulster Tatler People of the Year Awards in association with Linwoods.

The event, now in its sixth year, will take place at the iconic Belfast City Hall on Thursday September 19.

And, with Marc and Sarah anchoring the evening, the event will recognise and celebrate Northern Ireland people from various walks of life who have excelled in their own field over the last year.

The categories range from fashion to interior design, hairdressing to hospitality, and from business to sport.

Shortlists in all 12 award categories have been selected and the winners will be announced at the glitzy event in September.

Tickets for the star studded event are on sale now and available by contacting either sales@ulstertatler.com or by telephoning 028 9066 3311.
