Feast your eyes on delicious street food and retail at a pop-up shipping container market in Belfast later this year - with some money going to those in need.
Subject to planning approval, ‘Box Office’ (named as an ode to the Dublin Road’s cinema history) will host the best of local food and independent retail vendors in shipping containers - giving start-up vendors an opportunity in an otherwise prohibitive market.
Digital technology company Kainos is temporarily leasing its Bankmore Square site to the social enterprise behind the pop-up market.
It is due to open later in 2021.
The market will put an emphasis on sustainability, Kainos said, supporting small businesses and a commitment to ensuring a fair living wage is paid to all staff.
The project also aims to offer a place for the community to come together - promoting environmental and social unity.
One of the best parts has to be that, while trying out all sorts of local street food, you'll also be supporting others in need, with any rent Kainos receives from the enterprise donated to a local charity supporting those in food poverty.
Will Neill, founder of the social enterprise that will run the site, said he is "delighted" the company has agreed to lease the site at the ethical pop-up street food market.
"Belfast is such an exciting, up-and-coming city and having a space like this to showcase the very best of our start-up food and retail vendors will be fantastic for tourism and the local community," he added.
