About

The Imagine! festival takes place in Belfast every March and presents a unique way of imagining the future of this city — and the wider world.

They present high-quality showcases for the discussion of contemporary political and societal issues including new ideas on politics, culture and activism from some of the world's leading contemporary thinkers.

But it's not all brain-melting policy discussions: there's something for everyone in the form of exhibitions, humour, family events, music, theatre, tours, workshops and film and whatever else they can find to fire your imagination.

This year's festival runs from 23-29 March in over 50 venues across Belfast and most of the events are free or pay what you can.
