The Waterfront Hall is the cornerstone project in a huge riverfront redevelopment scheme undertaken by the Laganside Corporation – a non-departmental government. Previously this area of Belfast had been run-down due to the decline of the ship building industry in the city. The Waterfront Hall was one of the first projects in what became one of the largest regeneration projects in Europe. The venue includes a Main Auditorium with 2,241 seats, a studio, 14 meeting rooms, gallery space, a gift shop, restaurant and two bars.
