Are you interested in the performing arts? Fancy a career in it? Belfast Buildings Trust and Northern Ireland Opera are collectively hosting a FREE theatre skills workshop where attendees can explore special effect make-up, costume making, set design, and much more with the guidance of theatre professionals. This is a fantastic opportunity to try out specialist theatre skills in a fun and welcoming environment! Open to people of all ages (but recommended for 14+). Belfast Buildings Trust is working with Northern Ireland Opera and other partners to explore what happens in Carlisle Memorial Church. The building’s future must play a creative role in Belfast’s future. We want the ideas for what it can be to come from working with you and others across Belfast. It means that this work is about the places you know and love.

This workshop will focus on getting to ‘know your market’ and how to identify and reach out to your customer base and key stakeholders.  It is being delivered as part of the Ards and North Down Social Entrepreneurship Programme (ANDSEP)

Artist Ali Fell will fill Carlisle Memorial with thousands of crochet forget-me-not flowers, in memory of loved ones and beloved spaces.

230 years a-harping with renowned Irish harpers

Knitters and Crafters are invited to gather on St Brigid’s Day for a morning of chat and creativity. Now a staple in the festival programme, this session connects craft lovers from across the city and newcomers are very welcome. This year, participants can also learn how to make a St Brigid’s cross. Traditionally hung in people’s homes, the St Brigid’s cross is a woven symbol of Christ’s death and resurrection. We will also continue in our tradition of knitting items to be gifted to asylum seekers and charities helping those who are homeless in our city.
