Belfast International Arts Festival | Lyric Theatre

Belfast International Arts Festival returns for its 63rd edition from 14 October – 9 November 2025!

We’re proud to have been long-standing collaborators with the Festival, an annual celebration of contemporary arts and culture that champions bold, innovative work across music, dance, theatre, and visual art. Each year, the Festival connects artists and audiences from near and far in venues across Belfast, showcasing the very best of our city and country.

This year, we are delighted to present Denouement, a powerful new play by John Morton that explores what remains when everything else has been stripped away. Alongside this, we’re thrilled to host Unreconciled, Instructions, My English Persian Kitchen, and Faust-ish as part of the programme.
