In the @PlayhouseDerry doing some research. Really looking forward to seeing this & will be watching out for any references to 1798.
We had great craic today with this bunch of United Irishmen & women in the late summer, Saintfield sun. We also had our own Betsy Gray & the most distant visitor to date, OM, all the way from Stratford in London! #VisitMourne Our next tour is in September & 🎟️ 👉🏼 tinyurl.com/1798Saintfie...
I suspect it will require a revolution.
This one. ~~Yes~~

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...
The 1798 Rebellion tour is running less than a year, but is already rated by travellers as the #1 thing to do in Saintfield. Join us on Sunday 24th August to hear about the history of revolution here. tinyurl.com/1798Saintfie...
Many thanks for the share @bi99le5.bsky.social. The tour is proving to be popular and well-received: www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_R...
Many thanks to Wexford blacksmith Finin Christie for making this replica pike & to local Permaculture farmer & environmental educator, Phillip Allen for fashioning the 10 yr old hazel rod for the shaft! We’ve tix left for our next tour on Sun 24th Aug, so grab one here: tinyurl.com/1798Saintfie...
This is a brilliant tour for any 1798 heads, or anyone just interested in the history of Saintfield. A full review would ruin all the little surprises Mark, the tour guide, has built in. It’s really worth your time.
Really enjoyed today’s walk with this band of United Irishmen & women! Delighted to have @clairemitchell.bsky.social with us & share her Ghost Limb story. Grab a copy of her book here: www.beyondthepalebooks.com/shopnewbooks...
