Imagine! Belfast Festival of Ideas & Politics

The Belfast Festival of Ideas & Politics - an invigorating programme designed to celebrate and support the role of the citizen in our local political and cultural life. Featuring seminars, workshops, film, comedy, quizzes and lively debate, the festival "will provide a unique opportunity for Belfast citizens to have their say and engage with some of the big issues of our time."

Founder and Festival Director, Peter O’Neill, said: "More than ever, our society needs to cultivate a culture which provokes imaginative ideas and ways of engaging with each other on the big issues of our time. We want to encourage participation from people not normally involved in political debate and stimulate a discussion on new ideas and activism. There’s something for everyone in our programme – most of the events are free and spread across the city. So join us in sparking some new ideas on politics and culture."

The full programme can be found on the Imagine! Belfast website/
