A few sore heads on Saturday morning but the craic was worth it!

Too old to go back to school? Possibly. Too old to go back to the music of your youth? Never!

No we didn't either, but we do now!

The sun maybe shining (or not!) and the kids may be on holiday... but we're thinking about the Autumn already!

Portaferry Gala is holding its Kids Got Talent show at Portico this year. Hosted by Lady Portia, this is a great opportunity for any under young people under the age of 18 years to come and show off their talents.

Portico and the 50 or so events we put on every year just wouldn't happen without all of our lovely volunteers. It's not just the ones you see at concerts pouring wine or checking tickets, there's a lot happening behind the scenes too - accounting, gardening, governance, promoting... We've got lovely volunteers everywhere!

We've had a few questions recently about why seats gets reserved for some people and not others.

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death, yesterday, of our friend and former board member Rosamund McMullin.
