Bankmore Square re-opened to the public on June 28th following a £95,000 rejuvenation project delivered by LQ BID, co-funded by Department for Communities and supported by Department for Infrastructure. The Square’s new look will deter anti-social behaviour by using the space in a new way including the installation of a wildflower garden, new circular central feature to facilitate events, and partial removal of wall to open the space to areas of high footfall and increased surveillance.
Events are open to all members of the public and do not require booking, however some are weather dependent. Check out @LinenQuarter on social media for the latest updates and view the full list of events here.
