With the constant arrival of new fashionable bars, restaurants, and clubs throughout the city, Belfast has over the years become an increasingly popular clubbing destination. With a huge influx of university students helping proceedings along, Belfast’s nightlife is positively buzzing.

Hosting a vast array of arts festivals, film festivals and music festivals throughout the year, there is certainly always something to do in Belfast, whatever your idea of a good time is.

With the Golden mile being lined with cool clubs, swanky bars, traditional pubs, and sophisticated restaurants, the North’s capital has firmly established itself as a cultural hub and one which many people are travelling across the country as well as making the short trip across the Irish Sea to enjoy.

Recent events like Radio One's Big Weekend in Derry have cemented the growing reputation that the North is becoming the place to be for festivals, events, gigs and more...  

We’ve collated our top 5 events in Belfast for you to consider below to help get a feel for what’s going on in the city.

Enjoy a night out in one of the most vibrant locations on the map!
