Saturday 14th of August, the Pirate Cove opened it’s doors in Portaferry - Tales of the Deep came from the Strangford Lough Mermaid, loads of buried treasure was just waiting to be found in the sand, plus pirate goodies from the treasure chest awaited those in fancy dress while Creatures of the Deep lurked in the Touch Tank.

Here they Po, here they Po, here they Po….

Another packed afternoon in Anne Street as the “Portaferry Flyers” took to the streets. Well done to all those who took part and thanks to the guys from Rampage who were running demonstrations all afternoon. They were so impressed they’ve promised to come back and enter next year themselves !

No, it’s NOT for sale. The town’s dogs turned out in their freshly washed, brushed (and we think polished noses) best this morning for the Pet Show. Thanks as always to P2 Kennels and Peninsula Veterinary Clinic who sponsor the event, for pictures, click here.
