Belfast's night-time economy clusters and catchment areas

Belfast's evening and night time economy is mainly focused in the city centre and within clusters across the city. Different areas of night-time activity function at different scales and serve different catchment areas. The city centre, Cathedral Quarter and Titanic Quarter – Odyssey attract internationally-renowned culture, performers and productions that serve a wider regional catchment, and draw out of state visitors to Belfast. The district centres, such as Cityside and Kennedy Centre as well as the Queen's Quarter, provide a range of evening and night time economic activity that serve the wider city neighbourhoods. If proposals come forward for the redevelopment of part or all the clusters which involve the loss of the late night cluster, the council will assess whether their merits outweigh the benefits of the late evening cluster or alternatively if the late evening uses can be relocated or provided elsewhere or are no longer needed.
