Belfast Harbour Studios is a £20m film studio complex located north of Dargan Road within Belfast City Council’s 340 acre North Foreshore (Giant’s Park) site. The 8 acre Belfast Harbour Studios complex comprises 2no. film studios and sound stages of approximately 33,000ft2 each (75m x 40.8m each), 2no. workshop buildings of approximately 11,000ft2 each and a 3-storey 37,000ft2 office/ production building.
