City Hall

City Hall in lights

  • City Hall in lights

    Our LED lighting system at City Hall reduces our energy costs and allows us to light up the building in a variety of colours and combinations.

    As City Hall is a Grade A listed building, it's mainly lit up in a white light, which is best for highlighting the building's beautiful architectural features. Dates when City Hall is lit in different colours are listed below.

  • Lighting up City Hall

    We can also light up the building for major events which we have organised in City Hall or its grounds.

    We will only accept other requests to light up City Hall in exceptional circumstances. For more information, please email cityhallfunctions@belfastcity.gov.uk

    The project is part-funded by the EU, under the Information and Communication Technologies Policy Support Programme.
