CORK
One of the biggest annual poetry
events on the Irish festival calendar,
the Cork International Poetry Festival
from 19th-23rd March, celebrates Cork as
a vibrant poetry scene with international
connections. The festival is produced

funded mainly by the Arts Council and
Cork City Council. Acts this year include
award-winning poet Paul Durcan; Billy
Collins, Poet Laureate of the United States
from 2001 to 2003 and New York State
Poet from 2004 to 2006; and Abigail Parry,
whose poems have been set to music,
translated into Spanish and Japanese,
broadcast on BBC and RTÉ Radio, and
widely published.
DONCASTER SHEFF I ELD
Brocco on the Park is a delightful
boutique hotel with a Scandi feel.
Overlooking Endcliffe Park, the
hotel is cool, calm and welcoming, with
a sitting area and a garden. There are
eight beautifully-designed rooms, each
named after a bird’s home (Pigeon
Loft, Dovecote, Nightjar’s Nest and so
on). Each room has luxury bedding and
furnishings, soft wool rugs and lambswool
blankets. Delicious, seasonal food is also
available.
DURHAM TEES VALLEY
Open Treasure is a new, world-class
exhibition route revealing Durham
Cathedral’s most spectacular
spaces. You’ll visit the magnificent Monks’
Dormitory, with one of the best-preserved
medieval oak-beamed ceilings in the UK;
the new Collections Gallery, which houses
some of the Cathedral’s most spectacular
treasures; the Great Kitchen, one of only
two surviving medieval monastic kitchens
in the UK; and the Pilgrim’s Gallery, which
gives visitors the opportunity to leave their
own mark on history.
DUBL I N
Both a testing terrain for golfers and
a joy to the eye, New Forest Golf
Club is a truly amazing Irish parkland
golf experience. With the forested
surroundings and undulating beauty of its
fine fairways, tees and putting surfaces,
the course is one of the best in the
country. The layout is positioned over
gently rolling terrain, encircled with
woodlands that give the property a
traditional feel. Discover more stunning
Irish golf courses at Golfscape.
DUSSELDORF
From pasta to schnitzel, a large
selection of steaks, seasonal dishes,
regional specialities and vegetarian
options, you’ll find it all and more at the
comfortable, modern, Restaurant Vossen
in Düsseldorf-Friedrichstadt. Only fresh
ingredients are used by the team of chefs
in this friendly restaurant, and you’re more
than welcome to enjoy just a beer, glass
of wine or a cocktail if you’re not hungry.
But how could you not be tempted by
classic dishes including Schnitzel with a
Mushroom Sauce, or their special Rump
Steak wth Bacon, Onions and Mushrooms.
