🎶 Planning to attend Fleadh 2026? A range of accessible travel arrangements and facilities will be in place to help everyone enjoy the event. 🎶
Public transport will run as normal throughout the Fleadh, although some bus stops and pick-up points near the event area may change slightly during the busiest periods, especially over both weekends. Any changes will be clearly signposted.
If you’re travelling by bus or train, please check the Translink website or Journey Planner app before setting off, as services are expected to be busier than usual. Allow extra time for your journey.
Accessible travel support will include:
🔵 Blue Badge parking at Dunbar Street, outside Common Market, and Winetavern Street/Smithfield Market, behind CastleCourt
🔵 A free fully accessible loop shuttle bus around Belfast city centre for people with mobility needs
🔵 Additional accessible toilets and Changing Places facilities
🔵 Sign interpretation and captioning at selected events
🔵 Seated rest areas, quiet spaces and kerb ramps across the event area
There will also be a drop-in Accessibility Hub at CastleCourt, Unit 59, 1st Floor, open daily from Sunday 2 August to Sunday 9 August, 11am to 7pm.
A limited number of free tickets are also available for the accessible viewing area at the opening and closing ceremonies at the Gig Rig through the Fleadh Cheoil website. This accessible space will be free and unticketed during the rest of Fleadh week.
