No excuses for sitting in front of the telly this weekend…

First up there’s NEST, a massive art/choral/orchestral/archive/creative-type thing in the T13 skate park in Titanic Quarter.  Just in case I haven’t described it clearly (as if!), here’s the website description:

NEST is an opportunity for the people of Northern Ireland to create art on a massive scale through the simple act of donating an object. The objects will be assembled into a gigantic installation in Belfast and become the focal point for a large-scale music and choral event inspired and performed by people of Northern Ireland.
More info and (free) tickets here.

Then on Sunday, fancy being part of an experiment?  The Dock and Titanic Belfast are joining forces to run a trial of a ‘Titanic Pilgrimage Walk’ – using the beautifully-restored Titanic slipways as the backdrop for a short guided walk with stops for reflection.

If the experiment works, this is something I’d love to be able to offer on a regular basis in the long-term – for now, we’ll give it a whirl and see how it goes!

And of course don’t forget Dock Cafe is open 11-5 on Saturdays, bulging with locally-sourced coffee, tea, scones, sandwiches, soup, art, photography, info and (always) lots of good chat.   And the Dock Walk departs from the cafe at 3:33 every Sunday, a unique way to do church on foot in the fabulous surroundings of the TQ, with its wonderful mixture of old and new.
