The city sparkles

The City Hall sparkles as the Christmas Continental Market transforms its grounds into a riot of colours, aromas and sounds. Get there before 20 Dec to experience the city's most quintessentially Christmas experience.

And the iconic building is also the brooding backdrop for Belfast's New Year's Eve party (info tbc) and the 29 Jan Chinese New Year.

(Wrap up warm this autumn and enjoy Belfast’s jampacked outdoor scene. The temperature may be dipping, but sales of socks and scarves are soaring as people prepare to embrace the night.

Hallowe’en always provides a carnival spirit and, whether in the city or surrounding environs, sparklers and skyrockets are poised to light up the skies. Bus, boat and train tours are also unleashing their inner demons in this spookiest of seasons. Check out our various Hallowe'en highlights listed on the left.

Look out for more strange creatures of the night as Stags & Hens descend in search of some pre-wedding jollies. To help them on their quest, we’ve unearthed some suitably inventive entertainment.

And staying outside, Art in the City showcases Belfast’s best grand designs. Follow your Big Fish photo op with a trip to a gallery or cafe displaying local artists' work.

Finally, if you’re in Belfast on Tue 18 Nov, get down to CIty Hall for the big Christmas Lights switch-on and, until Sat 20 Dec, Christmas Continental Market. Outside, it seems, could just be the new inside. Stay warm.
