Five Things To Do in Causeway Coast & Glens this weekend

With lots of people on holidays, there’s no better place to be than the Causeway Coast and Glens area.

Here are some suggestions for your diary...

1. Clubsound’s 50th anniversary

Dance the night away at the Royal Court Hotel on Friday (July 15) as Clubsound celebrate 50 years in showbiz.

This event also takes a wander down memory lane with a reunion for anyone who ever danced the night away in Portrush’s iconic Arcadia ballroom.

Compere Brian Moore will bring everyone back in time to the glory days of the Arcadia. The event will also support the RNLI.

Tickets are priced at £15 and are available from the Royal Court Hotel and Jingles in Portrush as well as La Lola in Portstewart or online from myticket.com

2. Air Ambulance Coffee Morning

A coffee morning will be held on Saturday (July 16) to raise vital funds for Air Ambulance NI.
