Belfast Barge

Directions Website

Belfast's only floating Maritime Museum, Live Music & Event Venue! Moored beside Waterfront Hall.

Lagan Legacy is a registered charity set up with the mission to present the history and industrial heritage of the River Lagan and the people that used it by way of a permanent exhibition. The ‘Home place’ for the exhibition is housed on a barge, which is permanently moored adjacent to Lanyon Place, which is located to the rear of Belfast’s Waterfront Hall. Lagan Legacy purchased the ‘MV Confiance’, a former cargo barge, in 2006 and sailed it to Belfast. It has since been fully renovated to house a museum, a multi-use performance space and a café. It is set to become a cultural hub on the River Lagan, regenerating the area and encouraging citizenship as well as economic development.

🔴🔴 EVENT UPDATE 🔴🔴

We are so sorry to announce that Friday's The John Andrews Band gig has been cancelled.

Refunds will be automatically issued to any ticket buyers today.

Sadly, once again another gig falls victim to ticket sales. We know that times are tough. But, if you are interested in attending a gig please purchase a ticket early. The live music economy is incredibly fragile and in order for venues to pay staff wages, security, sound engineers and the musicians we really need to see a certain threshold to tickets reached before a show can go ahead.

Lately, there has been a real trend towards buying tickets on the door. We have previously been bitten by this. With 100 tickets promised and only 6 people showing up. Resulting in us making huge losses as a venue. Especially as a charity venue.

Support live music - buy your tickets early.

Full house for an all-ages Battle Of The Bands tonight. So good to see the next generation take the stage and even more importantly... guitar music is cool again.

This Halloween (31st October) 👻👻

Join the Belfast International Horror Festival team this Halloween night on the Belfast Barge for a screening of John Carpenter's The Fog as they mark the 10th anniversary of their first ever screening at the same venue.

Tickets: Via the link in our Bio

Strange things begin to occur in the tiny California coastal town of Antonio Bay as it prepares to commemorate its centenary. Inanimate objects spring eerily to life; Rev. Malone stumbles upon a dark secret about the town's founding; radio announcer Stevie witnesses a mystical fire; and hitchhiker Elizabeth discovers the mutilated co**se of a fisherman. Then a mysterious iridescent fog descends upon the town and more people start to die.

Fancy dress on the night is encouraged, with prizes up for grabs for the most fiendishly dressed, then stick around after the screening stick around at the Barge's bar for some Halloween themed music as the team announce the winners of this year's Short Film Festival competition.
