PiGs’ Belfast debut on the horizon

People in Glazing Society AKA PiGs is just over three weeks away from its second event of the year, with a brand-new addition to the calendar for 2026, taking place in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Thursday 23 April.

The event is said to mark an exciting step for the PiGs team, Sarah Ball and George Lewis, as it continues to expand its reach, tapping into what is currently a thriving and fast-moving Irish glazing market.

Strong early interest has already seen a number of Irish companies sign up to attend alongside individuals and companies from England and Scotland, underlining the appetite for the meaningful networking and collaboration PiGs brings at its events.

As with the other PiGs events, the Belfast gathering will offer a blend of insightful discussion and relaxed networking. Kicking things off will be the PiGs Talking Shop with Glazpartners, running from 4pm to 5pm at White’s Tavern, widely regarded as Belfast’s oldest city centre tavern, where the main event also takes place.

This session is designed for those looking to dive into more technical conversations, share expertise, and explore industry challenges in greater depth.

From 5pm onwards, the main networking event begins at the historic White’s Tavern venue, which will provide the perfect backdrop for bringing the glazing community together in an informal and engaging setting.

With momentum building and anticipation growing, PiGs is encouraging anyone interested in attending to secure their place now.

Sarah and George said they are very much looking forward to welcoming attendees to a brilliant city and what promises to be a brilliant event.
