Dear friends and colleagues,

Welcome to the month of May. Our Newsletter hosts a wonderful selection of things to do, watch and read, all linked to Northern Ireland.

This week watch Bróna McVitties’s second album performed with a backdrop of beautiful County Down scenery; walk in the footsteps of NI heroes around Belfast. As the weather starts to improve and we think of getting outside more, why not take a virtual visit to find out what makes our region a land made for golf. And if the weather isn’t yet good enough to dine outside on the terraces, we have some ideas for you to treat your tastebuds at home with recipes from Mourne Seafood recipes.

We hope you enjoy and let us know your feedback! @BrusselsNI.

Best Wishes,
Lynsey Moore, Director
