Bangor Waterfront

Development of the seafront to re-develop Bangor into a thriving town and key tourist destination

• £60M+ project (£40m BRCD)
• 800+ new jobs
• 380,000+ additional visitors

The analogy of a necklace with a braid (represented by the theme of the sea), holding together a series of ‘highly attractive gem stones or beads’, (represented by specific developments and experiences) that, collectively make up a wonderful piece of jewellery, is the aspiration for Bangor. This sets a presumption in favour of a series of well-funded attractions and attractors with different functions and focus dispersed throughout the waterfront and the rest of the town, rather than one large scale single attraction.
