The 4 Corners Festival returns to Belfast this February, inviting people to explore the meaning of ‘Home’ through a program of events running from January 31 to February 9.
This year’s festival features speakers, musicians, and artists who will help reflect on what it means to create a truly welcoming city for all.
The 4 Corners Festival seeks to inspire people from across Belfast to transform it for the peace and wellbeing of all. Through innovative events designed to entice people out of their own ‘corners’ of the city, participants will encounter new perspectives, ideas, and friendships that bridge our traditional divides.
This year’s program includes performances by two-time Ivor Novello award-winning songwriter Iain Archer, known for his work with Snow Patrol and James Bay, who returns to Belfast for a special homecoming concert at the Lyric Theatre. Acclaimed performer Nuala McKeever presents her powerful comedy-drama Truth, Love or Promise, while theological discussions led by speakers like Dr Lorna Gold explore shared responsibility for this earthly home.
The festival embraces various formats including:
Festival marketing states:
“Through these diverse events, the festival creates spaces where all can feel at home, where barriers dissolve, and where we can imagine together what it means to build a city that welcomes everyone.
“Whether you’re a longtime resident or new to Belfast, the festival offers opportunities to connect, reflect, and contribute to our shared future.”
Events take place in venues across Belfast. All are free, though some require pre-registration. For full program details and booking information, visit the festival website – www.4cornersfestival.com.
