James (who as you can see does not look anything like me – time to squash that rumour once and for all) has been doing some work this week on updating the Dock’s calendars and group booking procedures.
You’ll see the results of his labours roll out on the website over the next few weeks, but one thing that really struck me was the list he compiled of all the different events, groups and gatherings which now happen in or around Dock Cafe on a regular basis.
Some are spiritual, some are social, some are small, some are super-sized… but all of them are now part of the wonderful mixed-up multi-coloured smorgasbord of Life in the Titanic Quarter
So scan your eye down the list that James has put together so far – we’ve probably still forgotten someone – and maybe you’ll find out about something new! Everything in this list is open to the public (there’s another whole world of procedures for private bookings, but that’s a story for another day!) so if you’d like to be part of any of these events or groups, you’d be more than welcome…

“If you make it – you can sell it” is the only rule for traders at Dock Market – so there’s nothing mass-produced, just the hand-made creativity of local Belfast entrepreneurs at their best!
Located at the base of the ARC Apartments, between the Odyssey Arena and Titanic Belfast (plentiful parking available at both), the market regularly hosts over 20 stalls featuring everything from gourmet waffles to award-winning burgers to melt-in-your-mouth cupcakes and fresh bakes… and when your appetite is satisfied, you can tempt yourself to something unique from stalls showcasing the very best of Belfast’s art, photography, craft, fashion and loads more.
