What customers say
Based on genuine customer reviews
Aiken PR in Belfast works in public relations and event promotion, and the accounts left by customers focus on a concert it promoted. One attendee describes staff helping a wheelchair user reach an accessible viewing position that proved well placed, and mentions a gift bag with a fleece, poncho and water as a considerate addition.
The same customer thanks the team for the kindness shown in getting them to the spot, which points to attention to individual access needs at its events. Feedback touches on the way guests were looked after rather than on wider PR campaigns, and no other services are named in the accounts. The office sits on the Lisburn Road and weekday hours run from nine until five.

Most dangerous event I’ve ever been at! I was at the Zach Bryan concert 23/06/26 (Boucher playing fields Belfast) the layout of the toilets was a total joke, every previous concert I’ve been to there for the past 20 years has had no issues. They decided to have one entrance which also served as the exit, (approximately 5metres wide) which created a stampede, this took 45 minutes of being pushed and crushed to enter the toilets and the same length of time to exit. I witnessed concert goers climbing over fences and resorting to push fences down just to get out and some girls fainting as they were getting crushed. The only explanation for this I can think of is: 1. Trying to save money 2. They’re dead from the neck up I’m guessing the latter. They are a lawsuit waiting to happen
I attended the Christy Moore concert last night with my wife who is wheelchair bound. I would like to thank your staff for showing such kindness in getting us to the disabled place, which was a great location also the Aiken Promotions gift bag (fleece, poncho and bottle of water) was a very thoughtful thing to provide. Overall Aiken Promotions were fantastic!!!
