Bands back to playing for the public, growing healthier minds at Tullygarley’s allotments and catching up at Glenarm Estate.

The skirl of the pipes at Antrim Castle, the harmonies of the accordions rehearsing for the Tattoo, growing healthier at the allotments and a season of changes at Glenarm.

Rab Lennox visits Antrim Castle Gardens for the pleasure of seeing pipe bands back performing in the fresh air, while Diana Colbertson pays a visit to hear the combined music of Ballyhubble and Edgarstown Accordion Bands rehearse for the Belfast Tattoo. From Glenarm, the Estate Manager Adrian Morrow talks about the funeral of the late Earl of Antrim and the ongoing challenge of working through heat waves and heavy rain. Willie Hill visits the Tullygarley Allotments to hear how the project started and how it helps everyone involved, while Helen Mark keeps the chat going.
