From the rehearsal room to the stage, it’s been a joy watching Alice By Heart come to life at Carlisle Memorial.
Special thanks to the Creative Belfast interns, who’ve made their mark in production, costume/set design, and tech roles.

It’s great to see the sights and sounds of Carlisle Memorial inspiring new music from Cameron Clarke and Marty Byrne.
Dúlachán is their brand-new project, built from field recordings made inside the building.
And the accompanying video captures the building in an incredible light!

We were pleased to host UAH’s Meanwhile Use of Heritage at Risk event in Carlisle Memorial today.
The group also visited 101 Donegall Street, Indian Community Centre, and Carnegie Oldpark Library.
Each is a powerful reminder that short-term use helps to save heritage buildings from decay or loss.

Yesterday, we joined forces with @belfasthills.bsky.social at Cavehill Park to shape a 'Notes From Belfast' commission. Connor Dougan taught us how to transform field recordings into a track inspired by the area.
We're excited to see how the group's input will shape Connor's new piece of music!

Stormont is listing old buildings but won't pay to repair them, so they're collapsing at an accelerating rate. This broken system isn't working for either buildings or their owners - while the Republic is spending vast sums to protect its built heritage.

15 years after Carlisle Memorial was Watch listed by the World Monuments Fund, the addition of the Assembly Rooms is a significant day for Belfast.
It is clear that the city needs to urgently review how it values its built heritage and better uses it for social and economic regeneration.
