7 Days in Belfast | 13–19 October

A giant wheel in East Belfast, live local music, family days out and a hidden river running beneath the city. There’s plenty happening in Belfast this week!

Here’s a little of what’s coming up:

🎡 Giant Wheel – A free outdoor spectacle at C.S. Lewis Square this Saturday.

🎶 Live music – Belfast artist Leo Miyagee at the Black Box, plus more great local gigs

📍 Across the city – Five events covering North, South, East, West and the City Centre.

🐯 Family ideas – Winnie-the-Pooh on a boat, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and more.

🌊 Hidden Belfast – The story of the River Farset, which helped give Belfast its name.

That’s just a taste of what’s in this week’s Belfast Brief.

Tonight 15.10.26

Belfast City Hall lit up pink and blue for Baby Loss Awareness Week, and the evening sky is matching the colours.

A tribute to all the little lives lost too soon, and to the families who carry their memory❤️

Have you tried 186 Coffee on Ravenhill Road?

Opened in August, it’s a welcome new addition to the area and a handy coffee stop if you’re exploring that side of Ormeau Park.

They’re serving Belfast’s own White Star Coffee, alongside local cakes, Basque cheesecake and vegan and gluten-free options.

A lovely wee addition to Ravenhill Road.
