🫧AISLING AWARDS 2024🫧

We’re absolutely delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted for the Arts & Culture Award at the 2024 Aisling Awards!

For 27 years, the Aisling Awards have epitomised the very best of Belfast – that generous, gritty and unbeatable spirit which characterises a city on the rise.

Float has been on quite the journey since Kirby and Orla started writing it in 2021! This show has such a special place in our hearts and we are incredibly honoured that the hard work of our entire team is being celebrated by being shortlisted at this years’ awards🫧 Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Float through its journey (so far…) 🫶

Let’s go girls!! 🫧
