A former iconic Beflast dance hall has been included in a list of the 'most celebrated' historic music venues across the UK
A former iconic Beflast dance hall has been included in a list of the "most celebrated" historic music venues across the UK.With pubs now accounting for many grassroots music venues, data released in 2022 by Altus Group revealed that the number of pubs closing permanently had risen by 50% over the past three months as businesses struggle with the rising costs and bills.
The Insurance Emporium said: "Situated within the grounds of Belfast Zoo, the Floral Hall started out as a ballroom in 1936. It later added a café and roller skating to its list of facilities."The Floral Hall closed to the public on 2 April 1972 and has been left in a state of disrepair ever since. However, in the 1990s the Floral Hall was given Listed Building status.
The hall was last in use in 1973 as a count centre for the Northern Ireland referendum on a border poll and fell into disuse soon after.
