Queen Square is a magnificent Georgian square recently restored as part of an award winning Heritage Lottery supported £5 million project.
Its central location is popular with successful businesses and it is next to bustling commercial districts, the Old City and the redeveloped Harbourside. The square regularly hosts outdoor theatre, concerts, the New Jazz festival and other major events.
The Queen Square Association works with the city council to manage and develop Queen Square.
