Belfast City Hall To Open Seven Days A Week

Belfast City Hall is to open seven days a week for a trial period.

An initial three-month trial period is currently underway following a decision passed by Belfast City Council.

The aim is to create greater footfall in the city, as well as giving people the opportunity to access one of Belfast's top tourist attractions at weekends as well as during the week.

On weekdays, City Hall will continue to be open from 8.30am until 5pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am until 4pm.

The Bobbin cafe on the ground floor of City Hall will also be open seven days a week.
