Fundraiser for L’Arche Belfast and a showcase for local artists, crafters, bakers, makers and growers. We are focusing on top quality hand-made and hand-grown produce including plants, fruit & veg from the L’Arche allotments.

There will be tea & coffee as well as live jazz music from Elaine O’Roarty & Scott Flanigan.

Admission free, kid-friendly.

Family fun day centred on the natural world. Dermot will be there with a display of foraged goodies, and will also be taking walks around the grounds and on the Newtownabbey Greenway. Free.

Join Dermot for a leisurely ramble through Portglenone Forest to see the bluebells and other natural wonders of this lovely piece of Co. Antrim. We might even see some plants that can be eaten! This event is free, and no booking is required.

This is a lovely open day with lots of activities and things to do, see and buy. Cloughmills Incredible Edibles is based at the old mill in Cloughmills, and has a wonderful allotment and is the focus for a wide range of community events.

Dermot will be leading some foraging walks around the site and along the nearby boreen. Free.

See https://www.facebook.com/CloughmillsCAT/ nearer the date for details.
