Construction work has started on a £300,000 project to upgrade the basement area at May Street Presbyterian Church in Belfast.
Improvements are also being made to an adjoining entrance lobby.
The aim is to transform an underused hall into a modern amenity which will be fit for purpose, easily accessible and open to all – and right in the centre of the city.
The new facility is expected to qualify for an entertainments licence which will open up a range of options which were previously not possible.
Funding is being provided in two tranches for the main scheme: £200,000 from Belfast City Council, through its Local Investment Fund, with match funding of £50,000 from the Alpha Programme, managed and administered by Groundwork NI, Landfill Community Fund (Tax Credits programme).
