All Saints is rising from the ashes, and what a transformation! Vicar of Antrim, The Venerable Dr. Stephen McBride, colleagues and parishioners are making the final touches to a restored All Saints Parish Church, just under two years since a devastating fire in December 2024.

From the PSNI: The Seven Mile Straight is closed at the junction of Ballyutoag and Carn road in Nutts Corner due to a property on fire in the area. Diversions are in place. Please avoid the area.
