Take a look inside the newly revamped event hub at 2 Royal Avenue in Belfast city centre after reopening this week.
Since opening in 2021, the central venue has hosted a number of events including gigs and art exhibitions, and the building also houses a café as well as bespoke artworks.
2 Royal Avenue closed back in September for “internal improvement works” with the aim being to provide new facilities and to improve the existing café on-site.

January 24 saw the social space reopen after Belfast City Council announced several new features - with some especially of interest to young people and their parents.
A spokesperson for the Council said: “We are delighted that 2 Royal Avenue has reopened its doors to the public and we look forward to hosting events in this iconic building in the heart of the city centre in the near future.
"Keep an eye on Belfast City Council’s social media for updates."
The listed bank building was previously the home of a Tesco Metro store after the supermarket took a 25-year lease in 1995.
With that lease up, it became the short-term hub for arts, music, workshops and markets it is now.
In the past, it has hosted screenings of popular children's films, music workshops and live gigs as well as the popular Santa's post office and other festive events.
2 Royal Avenue is open daily from 10am-6pm.
