Going out in Belfast
Which night is which in Belfast: Cathedral Quarter, Botanic Avenue, Ormeau Avenue (Limelight) and more, with what is on.
Tuesday10 Nov
The Empire's comedy club, the Empire Laughs Back, runs on Tuesdays, with live music in the basement bar afterwards.
Wednesday11 Nov
The Grand Opera House and the Lyric run their productions for weeks at a time, so a midweek night at the theatre is easy to plan.
Thursday12 Nov
The Oh Yeah Music Centre on Gordon Street and the rooms around the Cathedral Quarter put on gigs and club nights. In the weeks of the Christmas Market, the market itself stays open until 10pm from Thursday to Saturday.
Friday13 Nov
St George's Market opens at 8am on Fridays and closes at 2pm. In the evening there are concerts at the Ulster Hall and the Waterfront Hall, and club nights at the Limelight.
Saturday14 Nov
Saturday has the most on: St George's Market from 9am, the Christmas Market in season, ice hockey with the Belfast Giants in season or a big concert at the O2 Belfast, and the clubs after.
Sunday15 Nov
St George's Market opens at 10am on Sundays, with a quiet hour until 11am. Then the free Ulster Museum or Titanic Belfast, and a matinee or an afternoon concert.
Monday16 Nov
The Ulster Museum is closed on Mondays, so Monday is for an evening gig: the Empire Music Hall on Botanic Avenue has shows on Mondays as well as at the weekend.
