Bell Square

Bell Square is an outdoor performance space in the London Borough of Hounslow.

The space was unveiled in 2014, following five years of collaborative development between Hounslow Council and the Watermans Arts Centre.

Initially, a few events were staged to gauge whether the idea would be sustainable, with continued positive feedback and attendance convincing both parties to commit to a dedicated outdoor performance space in 2012.

The launch event to celebrate the completion of Bell Square was held in June 2014, with the internationally recognized French theatre company Bilbobasso performing Polar, drawing a large audience to the venue on opening night.

Dance acts such as the Catalonia based group Mar Gomez performing the dance piece Heart Wash; which promised 'to describe through dance the unlikely passion between a strong woman in an arid wilderness and a man adrift amid endless mountains of washing',[2] along with the domestically based act Dream Engine, who performed their unique Conedancers.
