The Meeting Place

At the Heart of it

Sandy Row’s a wee bit of a village.

We’re small, close-knit and kind, always looking out for each other and always ready with rare bit of Belfast wit. And then somehow, we’re always at the centre of things too. When the mills, works and railways yards came, we were in the thick of it and today we’re right in the middle of Belfast’s high-tech, Life Sciences district.

Sandy Row is ten minutes’ walk from City hall, five minutes’ drive from the motorway and a short dander to the biggest transport hub in the country.

We’re not the city’s centre. But we’re certainly at the heart of it.

One in a Row

Sandy Row is a true one-off.

This wee place is home to retail and visitor experiences that just can’t be found anywhere else in Belfast. Back in the day, it was said you could get anything from a pin to an anchor on the Row.

We’re not too sure about the anchor these days, but if you’re looking for something genuinely unique and served with a smile, this is the place for you.

Come once and you’ll be back, many times in a row.

The Meeting Place

Where the fresh waters of the River Blackstaff, mixed with the saltwater of the Lagan, a sandy crossing point was formed and Sandy Row was born.

And it’s been a natural meeting place ever since. Whether coming for jobs or shopping, hospitality or local culture, Sandy Row has always welcomed people into this unique wee part of Belfast.

And we’re still going strong.
One of Belfast’s oldest communities is ready for a new chapter.
Ready to meet our positive future.
