With Christmas frenzy officially kicking off next week, you may already have your plans sorted.

For some of us, Christmas doesn’t start early, and we’re still figuring out what to do during the holidays.

If you’re in the second group like me, I’ve put together a list of events worth checking out in Belfast from Thursday 11th to Wednesday 17th December 2025.

Think of it as your unofficial guide to what’s on in Belfast this weekend and beyond.

Some events are free, others are ticketed, but there’s something for every vibe. (Info on the individual listings).
