Theatres & Shows in Belfast

Belfast doesn't have a huge number of dedicated family theatre venues, but the two here cover quite different ground. Cahoots NI mixes puppetry, circus and physical theatre with magic illusions, dance and music, all within a mile of the centre. A little further out, Bright Umbrella runs family theatre shows alongside weekly mindfulness sessions and creative activities, with tickets from £25 and booking needed ahead of time. If you want something visual and a bit unusual, Cahoots NI's blend of puppetry and circus skills tends to hold younger attention without needing much dialogue. Bright Umbrella suits a family looking to build a regular habit, since the mindfulness sessions run weekly rather than as a one-off. Both are indoors, so neither is a fair-weather plan, and Bright Umbrella asks you to book seats in advance rather than turn up on the day.
