The Conservatory Cafe

Skettrick Island and much off Whiterock is currently cut off with an abnormally high tide.
Any residents needing shelter should come to the cafe - even after 5.
I’ll leave the heat and lights on.

🚨🚨Attention Killinchy / Comber area🚨🚨

I've opened spaces for my private 1-1 barbell suite!
These slots will take place from 9am - 12pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday with options for 1,2 or 3 sessions per week!

More slots will come over time, including the return of yoga classes 👀

Doubles sessions are also available to split the cost between you and a friend / family member.

I've ensured to distill this space right down to what I find important, a chill, easy space to be in, with high quality equipment and great coaching.

Any and all shares / likes are appreciated with this new endeavor - and as always - just send me a message or register interest on my website for more info.

Thanks guys. Exciting times ahead.

Well done The Crafty Fox for putting this together.

Folks,

I am sure many of you have seen that there are roadworks taking place at the minute on the Main Road between Comber and Downpatrick and the road is closed for 6 weeks between 9.30am and 4.30pm Monday until Friday. (Open as normal on Saturday)

The sign posts are very misguiding and we just wanted to let you know that the road is only actually closed at a very small stretch as you come into Comber from the Killinchy side.

PLEASE NOTE that the road is FULLY ACCESSIBLE the entire stretch from Downpatrick, through Killyleagh, Balloo, Lisbane and is only closed as you enter Comber.

We have been made aware that if you are trying to access the main Killinchy Road from Comber that the diversion signs have been directing to Downpatrick (which is not necessary)

Hopefully this map will help anyone who is not sure of the smaller road and will cut your diversion and journey time down when trying to get to us.

ARDS - COMBER - BALLYGOWAN - (FOLLOW SIGNS FOR KILLINCHY-MOSS ROAD - BALLYBUNDERN ROAD - BALLOO)

KILLINCHY SIDE OF COMBER - BALYDRAIN ROAD - QUARRY ROAD - LISBANE - BALLOO

DOWNPATRICK - ROAD IS FULLY ACCESSIBLE UNTIL KILLINCHY SIDE OF COMBER
