Katie Piper: From Surviving to Thriving, 10 October 2021, Ulster Hall
Katie Piper secured her place in the nation’s hearts when she appeared on Channel 4’s BAFTA-nominated documentary Katie: My Beautiful Face, which covered the early stages of her recovery after an acid attack in 2008.
Described as an ‘icon of her generation’, join Katie in this intimate live event, as she shares tips on how to build and maintain self-confidence, and practical methods to build up your own resilience in what has been an exceptionally difficult year.
This is an honest, uplifting and timely conversation about how, in an uncertain world, to be the very best version of yourself.
For many 2020 has been an incredibly tough year, with lots of hurdles, trials and tribulations. When we endure change, challenge and pain, we are forced to develop new coping mechanisms, to adapt and survive.
'This is something I had to learn many years ago. I am always asked about confidence - what it means and where it comes from and my answer is always the same - it comes from resilience.’
Grayson Perry: A Show for Normal People, 17 November 2021, Waterfront Hall
Despite being an award-winning artist, Bafta-winning TV presenter, Reith Lecturer and bestselling author, Grayson Perry is a normal person. Let Grayson take you through an enlightening and eye-watering evening in which this kind of existentialism descends from worthiness to silliness. Join Grayson as he asks, and possibly answers, the big questions in an evening sure to distract you from the possible meaninglessness of life in the way only a man in a dress can.
The Waterfront Hall an Ulster Hall look forward to welcoming these incredible acts to their iconic stages to experience the emotional connections made with their fans in an intimate setting. Audiences from near and far will fill the seats of the venues once again to create their #IWasThereWhen moments with their favourite artists.
