In 2017.
Do you have a special relationship to The Crescent? / What is your story with The Crescent?
BelfastTrad have held classes in the Crescent Arts Centre since the early days of our set up back in 1991. As we have grown from a small set-dancing society led by Mary Fox, to a multi-faceted traditional arts school, the Crescent Arts Centre has been our home. Since 2017, we have held an office space in this historic building and we are members of the Creative Hub. We love being in heart of a learning, arts and culture hub, it is a special place to work and to be creative in.
