Just had my ultra vitamin glow facial today and I can honestly say i feel so relaxed and skin feels amazing. I didn’t really know what to expect as I had been before but given current circumstances with covid I wondered how different my experience would be. I was kept informed the whole way through from booking on the telephone to arriving at the day spa. I was greeted by my therapist Nicole who took my temperature and guided me to my room for my treatment I was very impressed by the standard of measures they had put in place to keep me and the staff safe and well. I really enjoyed my day and as a key worker myself I needed the time out and some relaxation which I got all thanks to Nicole thank you for looking after me and i can’t wait to book again soon.

Amazing collection, with a very knowledgeable and friendly staff and great opportunities for volunteers (young and old), to high-light this gem of a collection. I thoroughly enjoyed my few hours there and wish I was closer, as I'd be there volunteering too. Keep coming back as there is always something new and interesting to see - and the standard of restoration is top notch and a credit to high calibre of the team there, and giving youngsters many opportunities to help out and build those all important life skills. Please pass the word around and support this wonderful charity.and visit it soon.

Drumbo Park Greyhound Stadium

Nothing beats the flutter of excitement when you place your bet; the rush of adrenalin as you see your dog sprinting from the traps; or the sheer exhilaration of watching your dog race across the finish line in pole position. You really need to experience it for yourself, as words only fail to do it justice. Suffice to say, the adrenaline rush whether trackside or at your table, is second to none. If quality counts down on the track, it counts just as much inside and throughout the stadium. Exciting as the racing is, we understand that people should have more than one reason to come to 'The Dogs'. That's why we have spent the last few years perfecting the social side of things and Drumbo Park offers plenty of opportunity to dine and unwind with friends, while enjoying the electric atmosphere of a race night. So whether you are on a large work outing, with a group of friends or simply enjoying a night out - you can really make a night of it. Of course, you don't want to miss anything, and you won't.Wherever you go, wherever you sit to eat or have a drink, you can watch all the live racing action on large plasma screens. You can even watch live satellite- linked races from other great stadia throughout the country every night. Your comfort is key for an enjoyable night out - so with our well informed tote staff taking bets right at your table and a panoramic view over the track, the only reason to leave your seat is to jump for joy as your dog comes in for the win.

Island Arts Centre

Reviewed By OrangeLisburn - Lisburn, United Kingdom

Situated on Lagan Valey Island, adjoining Lisburn Civic Centre - The Island Arts Centre is a fantastic facility - serving the population of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council. It publishes brochures every three months or so and caters for conferences, theatre, concerts, exhibitions, film screenings, pantomimes, courses, workshops and "the Arts". Site tours for large and small groups can be arranged but must be booked in advance. It is only a short distance from the M1 Motorway and has 300 free parking places. Train and bus stations are within walking distance. The Civic Centre no longer has a restaurant but can cater for banquets and weddings and has an on-site coffee shop. It has good facilities for those with mobility problems - and has free wi-fi. Prices, and "pensioner/children concessions" vary, depending on the activity. I enjoyed a tour around the Centre this morning - and was particularly impressed by the tiered theatres. Highly recommended. (Box Office T/N 028 9244 7744). Web. ISLANDArtsCentre.com
