" This year’s festival programme reflects and celebrates the growing diversity and creative energy that is making its presence felt in this part of the city. The landscape, history, culture and above all, people of east Belfast have provided the inspiration for 11 days of events that tell the new stories of the east in surprising and entertaining ways, hand-in- hand with the usual blend of events that allow you to immerse yourself in the history and heritage of Belfast. So, take your pick, be our guests and expect the warmest of welcomes!

Down by Avalon: Reflections on East Belfast, a new book by Philip Orr was launched last week and describes an east Belfast that has contributed immensely to the cultural, industrial, social and political heritage of Belfast. 

*PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSIONS HAVE NOW FINISHED*

Informaton sessions were held in May outlining the plans to improve the Ballymacarrett Walkway section of the Comber Greenway including landscaping, upgrading of paths and improved lighting.

Although these sessions have finished we are still keen to hear your views and listen to your feedback.

Take a trip along the Connswater Community Greenway and you will see a whole range of beautiful flowers and plants, but do you know what they are? A new book called ‘What’s Growing on the Greenway’ launched by EastSide Partnership and The Paul Hogarth Company celebrates the beautiful plants, people and places which make the Greenway a wonderful place to explore.
