Rotary Club Concert

Peter will sing some timeless classics as well as popular standards and the haunting melodies of Ireland in a superb evening of music.

Direct From The Grand Opera House

It's time to sit back and enjoy a hilarious roller coaster of a ride with the one and only May McFettridge and cast in a comedy play 'A Happy Medium' which comes to the Ardhowen Theatre for two night's only 23rd and 24th October at 8pm. Direct from a hugely successful sell out run at Belfast's Grand Opera House, it's a story based around Lizzie (May McFettridge) who invites a spiritual medium into her house to conduct a séance, to try and make contact with her sister on the other side. As you can imagine with May McFettridge in the role of Lizzie and a fun cast that includes Olivia Nash and Paddy Jenkins who people will know from the Fairhill Shopping Centre TV advert, the laughs are many. The production has toured Scotland and England as well as selling out every performance at Belfast's Grand Opera House. So for a spooky evening with loads of laughs, make sure you don't leave it late to book!

A Chilling Mystery For Halloween

Isosceles Theatre Company bring something really suitable for Hallowe'en when they present 'The Haunters' by Patrick Prior on Wednesday 28th October at 8pm. No one ever stayed in the dark brooding house for very long as there was something wrong there, something terribly wrong. A brilliant doctor who took up residence there died violently. When his brother decides to investigate what happened at this house by the river, he sets in motion a terrible chain of events. Set against the background of the gas lit, fog filled streets of Victorian London. It is indeed a chilling seasonal mystery.
