During our festive lighting programme, we can't accommodate illumination requests between Friday 13 November 2026 and Friday 8 January 2027.
Belfast City Hall is a Grade A listed building. We use white light to illuminate the exterior most of the time, which is best for highlighting the building's beautiful architectural features.
Our LED lighting system at City Hall reduces our energy costs and allows us to light up the building in various colours and combinations.
