🍩🍩Mackey Opticians are proud to be supporting "Doughnut"🍩🍩

A local production as part of the Belfast Children’s Festival.

Doughnut, is a play for young audiences, inspired by the book Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth. At its heart is a desire to explore how we can change how we live our lives so that all the things we need in life are shared to everyone’s benefit, and our wonderful planet’s sustained future.

With over 75 years of experience and 14 practices across Northern Ireland, community, care, and innovation are at the heart of everything we do, and we're delighted to help bring a project to life that encourages children to imagine a better, more sustainable world.

We would love all of our patients, young and old to consider attending one of the 4 performaces across 7th and 8th of March at the Brain Friel Theatre.

If you would like to purchase a ticket or find out more about this production and many more events that will be taking place as part of The Belfast Childrens Festival, follow the link below or visit Young at Art
