Open House Festival 2011


The 13th annual Open House Festival has moved from September, and happens from Wednesday 22nd until Sunday 26th September at various venues in the Cathedral Quarter of Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Line-up

The first acts confirmed are Fleet Foxes, Laura Marling, The Avett Brothers, Villagers, The Low Anthem, Caitlin Rose, Marcus Foster, The Lost Brothers, and Treetop Flyers.

Tickets

All concerts are individually ticketed and take place in friendly, accessible music venues including our large, fully dressed and blacked out festival marquee. To buy tickets, where available, click here.

The event offers five days of roots music including gigs, workshops, dozens of free 'Irish Traditional, Old Time & Bluegrass' music sessions, plus ChilliFest - a mini-festival of fiery food and Americana music.

Disabled access

The festival organisers try to ensure maximum access to festival events. All of the venues have wheelchair access. Please get in touch with a venue in advance if you have special requirements and they will do their best to accommodate you.

Children Policy

Children are welcome at daytime events if they are accompanied and supervised by an adult. However, children are not allowed onto licensed premises after 8pm.

Accommodation

There are plenty of accommodation options in Belfast itself, and all the venues are within walking distance of each other.

More information will be here when available.
