NEW: Arts & Digital Hub – Opening Summer 2025
We’re excited to announce that the Arts & Digital Hub, located on Sandy Row, is on track to open in Summer 2025! This innovative space will combine creativity and technology to serve the local community, offering a variety of opportunities for learning and engagement.
Arts Studio by Flax Art Studios
The Hub will feature a state-of-the-art arts studio led by Flax Art Studios. We look forward to fostering creativity within the community, working with local schools, groups, and individuals to nurture artistic skills and build meaningful relationships. Stay tuned for updates on workshops, classes, and other creative opportunities designed to inspire and connect.
Digital Suite
In addition to the arts space, the Hub will house a cutting-edge Digital Suite, offering a range of I.T. training courses, exams, and testing facilities. The Digital Hub will also provide community access to digital equipment and personalised learning opportunities, supporting individuals who need assistance with online services, including filling out forms and accessing important digital resources.
This project is funded by Urban Villages and Belfast City Council

The Coffee Culture Project – Reviving Ena's Café on Sandy Row
We’re thrilled to introduce The Coffee Culture Project, a vibrant initiative that will see the renovation of the iconic Ena's Café on Sandy Row. This exciting transformation will create a space where local heritage meets modern opportunities.
Celebrating Local Culture
The café’s design will be a tribute to the rich history of the area, featuring exhibitions, wall displays, and old photographs that tell the unique stories of the Sandy Row community. Local memorabilia will also be showcased, offering a warm and nostalgic atmosphere where visitors can immerse themselves in the culture and history of the neighbourhood.
Barista-Style Training Café
As part of our commitment to supporting employability, the café will serve as a barista-style training hub. Individuals will have the opportunity to gain professional qualifications, hands-on training, and valuable employment experience in a real café setting. In partnership with local employers, including Andras Hotels, we will offer pathways to employment, helping participants move forward in their careers through mentorship and direct job opportunities.
