Join us at Ballymoney Museum on Thursday, October 24th at 7.30pm for a special free screening of ‘The Lion Game’, a fascinating documentary that relives the vibrant days of the Causeway Safari Park.

This captivating film offers a nostalgic journey into one of the region's most cherished attractions, showcasing the wildlife, adventures, and memories that made the Safari Park a beloved destination for families and nature lovers alike.

Causeway Safari Park was located at Benvarden just outside Ballymoney and was developed in 1970 by Pat and Louise Stephenson. It was the first National Safari Park on the island of Ireland and its success saw the team welcome 6,000 people during its first 3 days of opening.

This is a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with cherished memories and share stories over some refreshments.

Bookings for the free screening can be made via an Eventbrite link available on our Causeway Coast and Glens Museum services Facebook page.

For more information on how to book your free place, email museums@causewaycoastandglens.gov.uk or phone 028 276 60230.
