Once upon a time, Irish monks, or some would say Saint Patrick himself, invented an elixir which was held in such reverence that it merited the name ‘usice beatha’ – nothing less than the water of life. The truth, while a lot less fanciful, is a lot more interesting. For a start, we know that the Irish didn’t invent whiskey – neither did the Scots, but the Irish perfected it! Join us on the first Wednesday of every month, where you'll get to taste four whiskeys and hear the story of the guest distillery’s colourful history. Hosted in our rooftop venue Angel And Two Bibles, we are delighted to welcome special host, Joe Magowan, on behalf of Jameson. £20 per ticket | Includes 4 whiskeys and nibbles after event Information Source: The Deer's Head | eventbrite

Fledglings Summer Sensory camp is designed for: Children aged from nursery to p.2 With special educational needs Led by our skilled and experienced Behaviour Therapy and Psychology team, this camp will take place at our independent special school (Sensations Nest) in Carryduff. Activities will be designed to allow children to explore their senses, learn, create and have fun! At the Nest, we use the outdoors as a key element of our learning experience. We anticipate as much outside time as possible (there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes!!), and children will be in a small group, with high pupil:staff ratio. We will be playing in the mud kitchen, exploring the jungle gym, sand and water tray, messy play experiences as well as using specialist approaches from our trained team, such as Attention Autism. Your little one will not even know they are learning! Hours each day are from 10am to 2pm. Please send a packed lunch and snack You asked, we listened!! This year we are running the scheme for two weeks instead of one. This allows us to get to know your child better, to have more meaningful input in terms of therapeutic work, and it gives parents peace of mind for longer during those lengthy summer holidays!! The option to attend just one week, or both are available. Discount for those who attend both weeks. Information Source: Sensations Learning Support | eventbrite
