See out the Summer in Style at Enniskillen Castle

It's that time of year again as Enniskillen Castle Museums' 'Summer of Cultures' Family Fun Day returns this Bank Holiday Monday, 26 August, from 2pm to 5pm.  

With something for everyone to enjoy, the afternoon's activities offer a wonderful fusion of local and global cultures.

This year's event brings together a host of activities including balloon modelling, bouncy castles, puppet shows, face painting, arts and crafts activities and much more.

Traditional music and storytelling will mix with drum performances, Chinese Lion dances and demonstrations from 'Women of the World'. 

Join the 'One World Collective Belfast' and decorate stunning large-scale Chinese Warrior Statues, or become a History Detective searching for clues around the museum displays.

Speaking about the forthcoming event, Chairman of Fermanagh District Council, Councillor Alex Baird, said:

"The 'Summer of Cultures' event at the end of August is the perfect way to celebrate the summer before the holidays end, with firm family favourites making a return as well as new activities to experience, transforming the beautiful site of Enniskillen Castle into a hive of creativity and fun."
 

To book a ticket for the event, please contact the Museum Reception on 028 6632 5000.  Admission is £3.50 per person or £15 per group of five. Admission covers all the activities that are part of the event.

Terry's Travel Tales! Part 1

We've just returned from a fabulous Summer holiday in Spain and I must say Spain is still a great county to visit. The weather was perfect, the people were great and food excellent. Although it did bring me to think about several things when you embark on holiday.
The issue of Airport Parking is still a thorny one. On this occasion we used Easi-Park just on the edge of the Belfast International Airport and we found them very reasonable and secure. We were discussing the pay for pick-up recently introduced and they were telling me that these car park shuttles have to pay around £3 each time they arrive at the collection point. This could go up to £5 before Christmas - Seems seasy money for the Airport.

We flew Jet2.com to Murcia and when we booked we reserved the inflight meal. Dubious abut such food our worries quickly evaporated when the meal arrived. For £7 you get a fresh fruit, beef dinner, bread roll, dessert, cheese and cracker, chocolate and refreshment. Not unlike the old British Airways food. Really enjoyed the meal and the chicken one on the return journey.

On arrival at Murcia Airport, Mary queued for the cases and I went to the hire car. Now hire cars are a whole different story..... There is so much choice at the time of booking - book direct, book thru agent, pay now, pay on arrival. The most confusing thing is insurance. When I collected my key after swiping my card the employee informed me that I didn't have insurance and that I would need to pay another £140 quid otherwise I'd have to pay for any damages - Now this is contary to what I though I had booked. Being is Spain I could really argue - Spanish not great. But I didn't take it. Everything seemed to go fine - no bills yet.

All in All a great holiday, but always nive to drive down Garvary Hill to see the lights of Enniskillen.
