Dear Friends and Colleagues,

This week the team are delighted to share with you more fantastic online events and experiences from Northern Ireland.

To start the weekend, why not enjoy a virtual cheese tasting hosted by Discover Northern Ireland and afterwards catch a live streamed magic show, which forms part of the Mid and East Antrim Borough Council’s Arts and Culture Programme. There are also suggestions for ways to relax and unwind, as well as the opportunity to view the work of Belfast artist Michael Hanna. Finally, this Sunday, as we celebrate Make Music day, we are pleased to showcase Northern Ireland music as part of a 12-hour podcast hosted by Beyond Skin.

We hope you enjoy the selection from Northern Ireland and that you and your loved ones are safe and well. As always, do not hesitate to get in touch, we look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Lynsey Moore, Director.
