A team of chefs will be on hand cooking Denny’s sausages supplied by Sainsburys Forestside and popping them into fresh Belfast baps supplied by Genesis and all that’s asked for is a donation to Comic Relief.
Nomadic will arrive at Queens Quay around 10.30am and be berthed there until Monday 19th March for all who want to visit. Samantha Mumba will be visiting the Vessel on Saturday 17th March and she will be doing something really special, you will have to be at Queens Quay at around 2.30pm to see what!
