Accessibility Info 2026 - Belfast International Arts Festival

At Belfast International Arts Festival we firmly believe that access is an essential part of creating a truly 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 constantly working to ensure that BIAF is a festival for all.

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

The information below relates to our 2025 Festival programme. This page will be updated with information for 2026 once the programme is announced.
