Extremely well kept and mentained, car parking over the second bridge past the center for access to the tow path. There used to be a coffee shop but it seems to be closed.

Lovely place for your wedding, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Gorgeous backdrops for your photos. It also is a council building, a theatre, work shops and other things. The lagan river runs right by it, Italy has a canal in front of it with locks. It has a walk along the river bank to Belfast

Went to see Colin Murphy.I had never been to the centre before. Real health and safety risk, with little space between from of seats and next seat. I had great difficulty getting past people into my seat. I tripped and nearly fell into row in front but kind gent caught me and saved me that embarrassment! On the pathway into seats there is a tiny ridge of wood then the next seat in front. very easy to trip so be careful.

First vist. It appeared to be a pleasant functional venue from the area I seen. The theatre wasn't to big nor to small and of course it had bars and restrooms conveniently placed.

Lovely clean place. So many things can happen there. From getting city information to concerts, plays. Building control and pet licence, marriage certificate and ceremony and more. Helpful staff too. Couldn't ask for more.

I had a training workshop the venue was great with loads of parking spaces. The access road to the centre can be really busy in rush hours.
