A Maguire Family Gathering
The Maguires of Fermanagh were once a very powerful clan who built Enniskillen Castle 600 years ago. An annual event in the lakeside town brings together Maguires from all round the world to celebrate their ancient history - Sarah McHugh is one of the organisers, and joins us us live from Enniskillen.
Singing in South Down
In the shadow of the Mourne Mountains, the South Down Choral Society gathers weekly in Hilltown to sing their hearts out, all 50 of them! They're getting ready for a big concert in Newcastle's Our Lady of the Assumption Church on Saturday 14th - Marie McStay went along to rehearsals.
The Hen's Shed
You might have heard about the men's shed movement, where groups of men get together to learn new skills and talk through their problems - well now Northern Ireland has it's very first Hen's Shed in Richill, County Armagh. About a dozen women are already involved, learning new skills like reflexology, nail art, crafts and much more. Anne Marie went to meet founding member Shirley Agnew.
North Down and Ards Pipe Band Championships
We'll have live pipe music on a beautiful sunny morning in Bangor's Castle as they prepare for the Anual North Down and Ards Pipe Band Championships, which starts today (Saturday 14th May 2016 at noon).
