Alleys & Rivers of the East: Exhibition & Short Film by Jonathan Brennan
EastSide Gallery

Thursday 1 Aug - Friday 30 Aug

‘Alleys and Rivers of the East’ is a series of artworks by artist Jonathan Brennan on the theme of alleyways, greenways and rivers in East Belfast. Comprising works on paper and unique multi-photograph compositions, the exhibition will also feature Brennan’s short film Alleys of the East. The subject of alleys, or entries, and the ways in which we use them has intrigued Brennan from his arrival in Belfast. Exhibiting some of the alley pieces in 2017, he has since turned his attention to the hidden rivers of East Belfast, following them under bridges and down culverts as they snake through our semi-urban landscape. The result is a fascinating mix of monotypes, cyanotypes, etchings, photographs and video.

George Best House Open Day
George Best House

George Best House will be opening it's doors again for European Heritage Open Day (EHOD) on Saturday 14th September.

EHOD has over 300 FREE events and many of the properties, like the George Best House, are not normally open to the public so this really is a chance to explore places that you haven't before.

The George Best House, 16 Burren Way, is the childhood home of footballing legend George Best. George lived in the house in the Cregagh Estate from age 2 until he left for Manchester United FC, aged 15.

The house is now self-catering accommodation allowing fans and visitors to experience life in the house for George before he left for Manchester in 1963. The house is decorated with interesting mementos, replicas, stories and images about George’s life, his family and his football career.

The George Best House will be open on Saturday 14th September, with entrance to the house taking place at 10.00am, 11.00am & 12.00pm. Experienced tour guide Peter Wood will be on hand to provide insight into George's life in Burren Way & Belfast.

Spaces are limited so please reserve your space by emailing visitorcentre@eastsidepartnership.com
