I know that Portrush has it's fireworks display this Saturday, which is free.

I wondered if anyone else had heard of other free events or days out, i am looking mostly things to keep the kids entertained over the summer holidays.:D

Any suggestions would be great...
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
And things go wrong no matter what I do.
Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    If you give the Tourist Information Centre in Newry a ring they will post you out a "What's On" leaflet which covers the Newry & Mourne area for the rest of the year. You might find something suitable worth the trip down.

    There's the Fiddler's Green festival in Rostrevor coming up soon which has a host of activities for children:

    took the wee man to Lagan Valley Leisureplex in Lisburn for the fun pool etc in the swimmers, he's 4 didn't get charged for him, only had to pay for me

    also booked tix for Toy Story 3 for Tuesday - £2.50 for the 3d film, seems to be all day Tuesday and considering its the 3d one thats a bargain in my book!
