There are some very exciting events coming up in North Antrim, as Cullybackey Community Partnership (CCP) celebrates several people who left the community in the 1700s and played a part in events leading to American Independence in 1776 🇺🇸😀

To tell their stories, CCP has developed an exhibition, published a booklet, and will be hosting a series of three talks – all separate and different from each other - on the 1st, 8th and 22nd of June at the Maine Business Centre.

The venue will open at 6.45pm to allow folk time to view the exhibition, with the talks beginning at 7pm, and the booklet will be made available. Everyone is very welcome to attend 🙂

The talks are all free, but booking is necessary. Secure your place today on the CCP website - https://cullybackeycommunitypartnership.co.uk/ 🎟️

The project has been made possible through funding from Communities NI via the USA NI 250 Fund 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼
