THE Giant’s Causeway has been confirmed as a location for one of nine arts projects inspired by the experience of living through the pandemic.

Two benches, built from driftwood and other natural materials placed two metres apart, will serve as a reminder of social distancing required to fight Covid.

The Boat House Gallery, based at Innisfree Farm beside the Giant’s Causeway, is the home of Creative Causeway - a group of six local artists who are working in partnership with the National Trust to deliver the project.
