7 things I learned on the set of ‘The Fall’

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.
