Accessibility Info 2026 - Belfast International Arts Festival

At Belfast International Arts Festival we believe that access is an essential part of creating an inclusive arts festival.

We are committed to creating a welcoming, accessible environment for our D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse artists, staff, volunteers and audience members, and are continually working to ensure that BIAF is a festival for all.

We welcome feedback from our audiences and commit to continuously improving our practice.

Our 2026 Accessibility Guide includes information about accessible performances, venues, facilities and other support available across the festival.
