Orchestra finds home in disused church

A former Presbyterian church that stopped services during Covid has been confirmed as the new home of the Ulster Orchestra.

The orchestra has received £268,000 from the Foyle Foundation, a charity created by the owners of the London bookshop. Additional money is coming from the National Lottery and Belfast City Council.

The Townsend Street church, its former school and Memorial Hall will undergo extensive renovation over several years.
