We present the results of a narrow-band (H_2_S1, {lambda}_c_=2.121um, {delta}{lambda}=0.021um) imaging search with Wide Field Camera/United Kingdom Infrared Telescope for H{alpha} emitters (HAEs) around several potential signposts of rare (~10^-7^-10^-8^ comoving Mpc^-3^) overdense regions at z=2.23: an overdensity of quasi-stellar objects [QSOs; 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) cluster], a powerful, high-redshift radio galaxy (HzRG) and a concentration of submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) and optically faint radio galaxies (OFRGs). In total, we detect 137 narrow-band emitter candidates down to emission-line fluxes of 0.5-1x10^-16^erg/s/cm^2^, across a total area of 0.56deg^2^ (2.1x10^5^ comoving Mpc^3^ at z=2.23) in these fields.
