As if you needed another reason to visit Belfast’s best (only) Honesty Box Cafe…!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Dock is hosting a fantastic photographic exhibition (starting this week and on display until Christmas) – winners of a photography competition run by the Shorts Camera Club. \u00a0All the photos have a local connection – familiar and unfamiliar sights from around the Titanic Quarter and East Belfast – seen from new angles and perspectives, taken by people with an eye for a great photo. \u00a0Don’t miss the chance to come in and have a look while they’re on public display!<\/p>\n
