A brand new, innovative pop up venue has been officially in Corporation Street, Belfast.
Belfast Contained is a brand new eco venue, which is the brainchild of the Square Pit Collaborative, the same team behind the successful T13 skateboard park.
Belfast Contained is a creative hub for culture and commerce and will host an eclectic mix of events before Christmas including festivals, film clubs, a Viking reenactment, an art exhibition by Terri Bradley, sport, music, dance, fashion, hair and beauty events, to name but a few. This project is an exciting chapter in Belfast’s on-going urban regeneration and a landmark innovation to the city’s tourism development strategy.
Backed by Belfast City Council, Belfast Contained is set to become the most talked about venue in the heart of Belfast.
Gary Flynn, director of Belfast Contained is excited about his forthcoming business venture. He says;
“The Belfast Contained project is a monumental opportunity for the City. Belfast will be brought to life through a dynamic program of events, gatherings and experiences taking place between the acclaimed T13 hub and Contained. The Belfast Contained pop up village is totally unique in that it has been created using recycled shipping containers and other recycled material.
“We have developed a new operating framework within which this project will be developed, programmed, operated and reviewed namely focusing on regeneration, consultation, collaboration and sustainability. We are also proud that Belfast City Council has backed us and look forward to the events ahead.”
The Deputy Lord Mayor of Belfast, Alderman Guy Spence, spoke at the event and praised the innovation and creative structure behind the Contained initiative. He says,
“Belfast City Council is delighted to be supporting Belfast Contained which will be a unique and innovative new experience in the City. Belfast City Council, with our partners is currently delivering Belfast’s integrated Tourism Strategy which is all about building prosperity for our community by becoming a world leader in innovative, dynamic tourism development and marketing supported by an unrivalled desire to give all our guests unique Belfast experiences.”
