Session Spaces

Sessions provide the pulse of every Fleadh. In Belfast, a series of stretch tents will be dotted across the city centre inviting spontaneous open‑mic moments throughout the day. The free, informal performance spaces offer musicians, singers, dancers and storytellers a place to share a tune or step up for a quick performance, with some arts and crafts workshops so everyone can get more involved.

From seasoned performers to fresh new talent, enjoy how each tent becomes its own swirl of songs, steps and stories. Open daily from 11am to 9pm, they’re ideal for relaxed listening, seeing what unfolds and stumbling upon something unexpected.

Drop in, join a session, share a performance, or simply enjoy the atmosphere.
