Yea! They do quite a bit down there. Vicky McLure did a big event down there recently. There was something else on recently which I was surprised to hear was happening there too, but I can’t for the life of me remember we what it was. Worth checking out.
Cured down near the train station is pretty neat, we don't have many waterside cafes/bars/restaurants etc. (aside from the Canal House etc.), so it's nice to have somewhere to sit on the waterfront and chill out with a nice bite and a drink.
Other than that, I'm really struggling to think of places that are 'novel/unique' etc... We need more funky places.
