The grounds of Belfast City Hall will come alive on Saturday 18 May with a host of free family fun for Councillor Ryan Murphy’s Lord Mayor’s Day.

- workshops,
- themed walkabout performers,
- flower-inspired arts and crafts,
- henna tattoos, face painting,
- traditional games, and
- activities for older visitors.
