All Culture Night Events are Free!
Most events will take place between 1pm – 10pm on Friday 22nd September 2017. Culture Night is a family-friendly event with a range of activities that people of all ages can enjoy. However all events aimed specifically at children will stop promptly at 9pm and please remember that it’s illegal to have children on licensed premises after 8pm. All children must be supervised and accompanied by an adult.
Transport and Parking
Our advice is to leave your car at home, if at all possible. We have worked hard with Translink and statutory agencies to make travel by bus, train, bike or foot as easy as possible.
If you do need to bring your car, parking around the site is limited as there will be no on-street car parking spaces available within the Cathedral Quarter including Donegall Street, North Street, Union Street, Kent Street, Academy Street, Exchange Street, Hill Street, Waring Street, Skipper Street, Talbot Street and Royal Avenue. However, there are ample parking facilities located around the city centre.
Food and Drink
To complement the excellent restaurants and cafes throughout the City, our Culture Bites strand will feature some of the best local street food vendors offering fabulous flavours from around the world.
Please remember that Culture Night is a family-friendly event and intoxicated behaviour will not be tolerated. Culture Night is not a ‘bring your own’ event and usual street drinking legislation applies. Culture Night is a breastfeeding-friendly event.
