The MET (Mobile Event Tent) located on Earl Street in the city’s Harris Quarter is intended as a venue to help revitalise the city and attract new audiences to its centre.
Launch month events range from dance, skateboarding and street art with a whole range of theatre, art, music and movement events to come. For a flavour of the kind of events that will be on offer, click HERE
