Belfast City Council is exploring the possibility of bringing Culture Night Belfast back in 2025 – and they want to hear from you! 🧵

[thrive: making culture count @we_will_thrive]

We want to talk to artists and orgs who participated in any of Belfast’s former Culture Nights. Or, maybe you didn’t take part in the past but you have ideas for what Culture Night could look like in the future. ⬇️

📢Does anyone have any old Belfast Culture Night programmes lying around in their offices/storage cupboards/attics?

We need them for some research we're doing!
