Belfast is running an eight-day Giro festival, Get on yer bike!, to celebrate Belfast being chosen as the starting point of the Giro d’Italia.
We’ve chosen themes of food, fashion, art, architecture, music and performance, and have shaken them up and given them an Italian and pink twist!
Highlights of the festival include:
- the Linen Hall Library’s exhibition on the bicycle in Irish literature
- the Ulster Hall’s programme of Italian-themed movies and cycling talks
- the Ulster Museum’s discovery zones
- the Get on yer bike! hub at Cathedral Gardens and Writers’ Square (8 to 10 May)
Keep an eye out for cycling street theatre and all things pink programmed alongside the Festival of Fools (3 to 5 May). And there’s a special performance of The Third Policeman as part of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival (1 to 11 May).
