This compilation of clips depicts the atmosphere and goods on display during a winter celebration event hosted by Yallaa at 2 Royal Avenue. There are several displays about the contributions Arabic and Muslim people have made to the world, including the formidable Chinese Admiral, Zheng He. 2 Royal Avenue is a historic building that dates to the 1860s. Over the years, it has served as a bank, a supermarket, and in 2021 it was bought by Belfast City Council and subsequently opened as a multi-purpose space.
Yallaa, meaning "let’s go" in Arabic, is an award-winning organisation based in Northern Ireland. Through workshops, events and community initiatives, it fosters connections and celebrates Arab culture, making its café at 2 Royal Avenue a cornerstone of cultural celebration in Belfast.
