Marble Arch Caves & Poetry Prompts
|
|
|
|
We are very lucky to have the UNESCO Global Geopark ‘Marble Arch Caves’ in County Fermanagh. If you haven’t been fortunate enough to visit yet, make sure to check out this brilliant video outlining the magnificence of the landmarks. Furthermore, for any poetry lovers out there, why not challenge yourself with these poetry prompts? All of which take inspiration from the Geopark!

Recipes that take us home - Women of the World
|
|
|
|
Enjoy this selection of 12 delicious recipes collated from members of Women of the World, an intercultural women’s group from the South Belfast Roundtable. The recipes have been collected throughout 12 lifetimes, passed down through generations and serve as a reminder of people, places and childhood memories brought back to life through the whiff of a home-cooked meal.

In Conversation with Declan McConaghy
|
|
|
|
Newry-based former BBC broadcaster, Declan McConaghy, has created a new series of short films where he talks in-depth to creatives from Newry and the surrounding area who have made a contribution to theatre, music, dance and the performing arts in general. The latest conversation is with Newry born and Boston based dancer, director and choreographer, Sean Murphy. Sean’s story is incredible and his journey in dance and movement has taken him from working as a delivery boy, to the Newry stage and onto the stages of London, New York and Boston.
