Belfast Entries

Our Belfast Entries project has transformed some of Belfast’s famous and less well-known narrow laneways into vibrant, welcoming spaces. As well as boosting the look of the entries with lighting and bespoke artwork, this project will improve way-finding and promote local heritage. 

Department for Communities is part-funding the project.
