Custom House Square will host events on Thursday, August 6 and Friday, August 7 from 2pm. The Telegraph Building will open daily from noon throughout the six-day programme.

The free events will form part of Belfast’s wider Fleadh celebrations, with both venues set to present a mix of traditional music, contemporary folk and live DJ sets.
