The cosy surroundings of the Tearoom at Carrick-a-Rede is the venue this winter for what promises to be an unmissable range of talks given by local speakers on a selection of fascinating topics associated with the wonderful Causeway Coast.
Many have visited Northern Ireland's iconic World Heritage Site over the years, but there is more to the Giant's Causeway than what meets the eye...
Our Storyteller for the evening, Keith will guide you on virtual tour, delving deep into some of the weird and wonderful lesser-known facts about this magical site...
There are around 40,000 columns, but how come they are that shape? The Giant's Boot, or is it a chair, and where did it come from? Exactly who was Finn McCool? Irish chieftain, or was he a Viking? And not to forget Benandonner, Finn's Scottish enemy. Come along and hear the official story of how the Causeway was built and how the famous fight was won! Old Mary Kane - she sold whiskey to visitors, but what happened when she was told to stop? The Hermit of Portcoon Cave - a dark and spooky place, so why live there?
These, as well as a selection of other vastly entertaining stories, accompanied with lots of laughs along the way, will leave you wanting more...
