Here’s One I Made Earlier…!

Unit 40 (first floor)

CastleCourt Shopping Centre

Our project space in CastleCourt Shopping Centre is a showroom for the small boats produced so far in workshops with school children, women’s groups, Men’s Shed members, and the general public.

It is also a workshop space, and a place for presentations and talks.

Our space is currently closed as we prepare for our event on 3 August. More info here!

Upcoming events

  • Boat club

    With: Peter

    Every Tuesday, 11am - 1pm

    Boat Club is a casual series of free workshops for toy boat building. It is aimed for people who have time in the morning, are keen on making and like to have some company whilst constructing.

    The building of many small boats, apart from some big ones, is an easy way to claim access to the river Lagan in an event in August. You don’t need any technical expertise, and all materials are provided.

  • Make sail!

    With: Jane

    Every Wednesday, 3pm - 5pm

    All hands, make sail, ahoy! This open-to-all workshop does exactly what it says on the tin - come and design and decorate your own sail for display in our CastleCourt space, Here’s One I Made Earlier.

    Whether you are making small sails for a little boat, or would like to contribute to a gigantic patchwork sail, we would love to sea you (get it?). Our massive, collaborative sail will be part of our event in August, where we’ll set off 10,000 boats on the Lagan, accompanied by performances and processions.

  • If it floats…

    With: Davy

    Every Friday, 10am - 12pm

    Draw a boat, build a boat, name a boat. Get your thinking cap on (and captain's hat) and design some new wild and wonderful boats for the Lagan to be entered into our competition.

    We’re looking for your most adventurous designs - either drawings or physical boats - to be part of the 10,000 boat flotilla in early August.
