European Heritage Open Days unlock tourist attractions and stately homes to the public for free one weekend each year. Special walking tours and talks are organised. This year, it was on 12-13 September. There were over 400 events to choose from throughout Northern Ireland. One that stood out for me was location manager Andrew Wilson’s talk on ‘The Fall’.
The beauty and history of the public market: Eating at St. George’s
I never win anything. As a child, I won a book in ‘Girl Talk’ magazine – as a runner up. This changed dramatically with Twitter competitions. I have won coffee from Belfast Coffee Co., tickets to see The Sound of Music at the Grand Opera House and most recently, an award winning breakfast at St. George’s Market Bar and Grill.
St. George’s Market Bar and grill is located within the market, on the upper level. As you enjoy your meal, it’s possible to watch the hustle and bustle of the trading below.
NI Coffee Festival
Northern Ireland’s inaugural coffee festival is occurring on 26-27 September 2015 in T13, Titanic Quarter, Belfast. One of its creators, Roger Gowdy took some time out of organising this wonderful event to answer some of my questions.
That time I went to prison…but not for what you think!
The Crumlin Road Gaol Attraction and Conference Centre was opened on November 2012. Two and a half years on and I still hadn’t been on a tour (I did attend the Spooktacular in 2013). So, one sunny Tuesday morning, Mum arrived in Belfast and wanted to explore somewhere new. It wasn’t long before we decided to book a tour for ‘the Crum’.
Dining at Rocket and Relish
Rocket and Relish is one of the closest restaurants to my home in Belfast. When Mum came to visit and we wanted to go and eat somewhere close to home, Rocket and Relish is the obvious option.
