LASA IS AMAZING. We were lucky enough to eat Elizabeth’s gorgeous Filipino fusion dishes at our Nollaig na mBan event at McConnell’s Distillery. https://www.wimbelfast.com/voices/nollaig-na-mban-weemens-wee-yuletide-in-north-belfast

One of my favourite things about when Lasa has a pop up is being able to taste all the amazing dishes Elizabeth wants to put on!

This is scallop dinuguan available at our next event in Combers very own cricket club

There is still some availability for our 8pm sitting - so please share with your friends and get in touch

Looking forward to tomorrows dish 😂

We are so pleased to be hosted by McConnell's Distillery at Crumlin Road Gaol in north Belfast, where you can look forward to Prosecco on arrival, delicious light bites, and their legendary cocktail experience included in the ticket price 👯‍♀️

It is then just a short stroll down to the new at Carlisle Circus on the Antrim Road where the party continues with nightcaps and snacks 🍻

We hope you can join us for a great evening of community, craic and cocktails 🍹this event is open to *all* gals/women/ladies working or studying in the media industry throughout Northern Ireland, so please invite your friends & colleagues also - the more the merrier! 💜

⭐️ Seenaryo سيناريو and Yallaa invite you to a screening of an award-winning Lebanese documentary TILKA at 2 Royal Avenue next week ⭐️

🎬TILKA is an intimate portrait of five women who come together to create a collective piece of theatre with Seenaryo amid Lebanon’s collapse. It won Best Local Documentary at the Lebanese Independent Film Festival, a Special Jury Mention at the Beirut Women Film Festival and premiered in the UK at Cambridge Film Festival.

🎭 SEENARYO is an organisation working with under-served communities in Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine. We train early years teachers to transform classrooms through play and we make theatre that activates social change.

We’ve been blown away by the impact of the film on audiences and we look forward to sharing these stories with you in Belfast, at this critical time in the Arab region.

After the film there will be a chance to ask questions and discuss issues raised in the film and the region more widely with Lara McIvor, Seenaryo’s Executive Director.

📍 2 Royal Avenue, in the Library Area
⏰ Friday 20th December, 4pm - 5.30pm (including post film Q&A)
