Programme Manager Candidate Brief PROGRAMME MANAGER 1 WELCOME TO BELFAST WATERFRONT AND ULSTER HALL LTD. NORTHERN IRELANDS PREMIER CONFERENCE & ENTERTAINMENT VENUES. Belfast Waterfront and Ulster Hall Ltd is a new arm’s length company responsible for the operation and commercial growth of the Waterfront and Ulster Hall on behalf of Belfast City Council. As Northern Ireland’s leading event venue management organisation, we are focused on delivering complete customer satisfaction and ensuring excellent and memorable experiences for all our customers. Across both venues, we host a compelling and unique programme of events from international conferences & exhibitions to rock, pop, and comedy and everything in between! 2 BELFAST WATERFRONT The original Belfast Waterfront Hall was opened in 1997 and became an award-winning purpose built conference, arts and entertainments venue. It was a key project in the riverside regeneration and redevelopment in Belfast City Centre. In April 2016, a £29.5m extension project was completed and has transformed Belfast Waterfront into a world class venue. The integrated exhibition and conference centre provides 7,000m2 of flexible space including two new interconnecting multipurpose halls, three large meetings rooms, a new 660m2 dedicated riverside entrance. The venue can accommodate up 5,000 people for conferences and entertainments events. The newly refurbished Belfast Waterfront will compete in the global conference market with other international conference venues in attracting major events with the target of generating £100m for the city over the next five years. The venue aims to attract 50,000 annual conference delegates (35,000 of these being out of state) by 2020 and host an average of six International Association Conferences and six large National Association Conferences each year. In addition it is aiming to reach a high level of Customer Service, with 95% or more of clients indicating the venue and service provided as ‘exceeded their expectations’. The Marketing and Sales Teams have recently been expanded with exciting new plans to ensure the Belfast Waterfront exceeds the challenging income targets. A new brand, website and client focused sales strategy are in the process of being rolled out. Indeed interest in the newly extended venue is extremely positive with Conference targets already exceeded for 2016/17 and a wide range of entertainment programmed for our first year. 3 THE ULSTER HALL Built in 1862, this beautiful Victorian building is now considered a cultural icon in Belfast with a firm place in the hearts of music lovers, both rock and classical, and boxing fans alike. Undergoing a £7m refurbishment in 2009, this historic building accommodates up to 1,700 patrons in the Grand Hall and also includes the Group Space used for exhibitions and events. The Ulster Hall hosts over 150 performances across a range of genres each year, as well as a number of local and national conferences, gala dinners and weddings. The venue has played home to MTV, Snow Patrol and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to a few as well as our very own comedy club. A key strategic vision is to further develop the public access to the Ulster Hall, ensuring the venue remains a key icon in Belfast’s future. In this regard the venue has plans to work with key promoters and festivals to develop a bespoke programme attracting a wide range of audiences, as well as further developing the box office function to ensure a customer focused approach in line with new technologies. 4 Programme Manager Belfast Waterfront Hall and Ulster Hall already have an excellent reputation for hosting world class events and we intend to build on this success.

This exhibition provides a revealing glimpse of work in progress at the BBC’s Community Archive in documenting the programmes and personalities who have brought music in all its different forms to life, and looks at how today’s broadcasters are responding to the musical styles and opportunities of a new century. It celebrates BBC NI’s role in supporting musical diversity and creative excellence and reflects changes in fashion, technology and society across 80 years of local broadcasting. “ Let us celebrate the way we were and the way we live now. Much has been achieved since 2BE’s first faltering (and scarcely heard) musical broadcast in 1924.

  • Helens Tower Sleeps 2 - Clandeboye Estate, Bangor, Co Down
    Helens Tower Sleeps 2 - Clandeboye Estate, Bangor, Co Down. Situation: Presentation: Helen's Tower perched high above the rolling hills of Co Down, is an enchanting three storey stone tower nestled deep in the woods of the Clandeboye Estate. Standing on top of the world with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, one can see as far as distant Scottish shores from the top of Helen's Tower. La Tour d’Hélène perchée au-dessus des collines de Co Down, est une charmante tours en pierre à trois étages, niché dans les bois du domaine de Clandeboye. Elle est niché sur le toit du monde avec une vue panoramique sur le paysage environnant, on peut voir aussi loin que les rivages écossais à partir du haut de la tour d'Hélène. History: Built in 1848 by Frederick Lord Dufferin, 5th Baron of Dufferin and Ava in honour of his mother Helen Selina Blackwood, Helen's Tower has since been immortalized by Tennyson in the poem of the same name. Designed by architect William Burn and constructed in 1848-1850 as a famine relief project, Helen's Tower helped relieve unemployment at this time. The tower has taken on an unforeseen poignancy, as an almost exact replica of it, the Ulster Tower, was built at Thiepval in 1921 to honour the men of the 36th (Ulster) Division who fell at the Battle of the Somme. Clandeboye Estate was used for army training during the First World War, and the 36th (Ulster) Division trained beside Helen's Tower before leaving for France.
