Event Date, Time and Venue

This event will run from 4.00pm to 6.00pm on Monday, 7 February 2011 and is expected to be very busy. Please do not arrive without having registered first. Please also do not arrive early as the exhibitions will not open until 4.00pm. For some it may be better to plan your arrival after 5.00pm to avoid the initial rush. The event will take place in NICVA, 61 Duncairn Gardens, Belfast BT15 2GB.

If the event is fully booked we will place your name on a reserve list for invitation to a subsequent event should we organise one.

Getting here and Parking
NICVA has a number of free parking spaces available for those attending events. Unfortunately these can't be reserved and are available on a first come basis. NICVA's spaces are clearly marked and we would ask that visitors only use spaces allocated to NICVA when attending an event. Parking is also available on Duncairn Gardens and surrounding areas within close walking distance. NICVA is also a short walk from Yorkgate Train Station and you can easily catch a bus from the city centre (no 1D) direct to Duncairn Gardens, or (no 61 and 64) to Cityside Centre (a few minutes walk).
