Discover Glenarm Castle’s Tulip Festival this May. The Walled Garden will be filled with thousands of tulips, and the gardening team will be on hand all weekend to answer questions and share practical advice.

Whether you are here for the flowers or just a stroll in the sun, it is a great way to spend the long weekend.
Antrim might be home to Northern Ireland’s capital Belfast, but its market towns, villages and country castles offer lots to see, lots to eat and even more to experience. As they might say in these parts, get stuck in.
