Belfast is in fashion

BELFAST boasts a shopping precinct to rival many of the fashionable cities in Europe, and tourism authorities are hoping to take advantage of the city’s Fashion Week, conveniently timed just after St Patrick’s Day.

The jam-packed week takes place from March 19 to 24, with nightly shows at Belfast’s hottest new venue — the Baby Grand at the Opera House.

Tickets are available online at www.goh.co.uk. Accommodation can be booked through the Northern Ireland Tourist Board on 1850 230 230 or www.discovernorthernireland.com.
