BCC To Mark First Anniversary Of Exhibition Space
Belfast City Council (BCC) is to mark the first anniversary of the opening of its permanent exhibition space on 15 May.
The permanent exhibition space – which is free to visit - has welcomed more than 77,000 visitors in its first year, from 65 different countries around the globe.
Lord Mayor of Belfast Councillor Nuala McAllister said: "We are delighted by how popular the exhibition has been with tourists and locals alike, and it's fantastic to see so many people coming through the doors of City Hall to find out more about the city and its people.
"City Hall is regularly thronged with people enjoying the exhibition or taking one of our free, guided tours of the building. It's great to see City Hall so accessible and now that it is open seven days a week it offers even more opportunity for tourists to see round the building and exhibit."
To celebrate the exhibition's first birthday, all visitors on 15 May will be able to enjoy complimentary headset hire and a free commemorative booklet (usually £4.50). Anyone wishing to take advantage of this offer is encouraged to book in advance.
