THE BUZZ | TRAVEL NEWS Belfast Craics Up 26 | TRAVELLER | MARCH 11 If Dublin is the traditional home of St Patrick’s Day, Belfast is its unruly northern neighbour. With a world-class music scene and more quality pubs than you could hope to crawl around in a week, it’s the perfect place to join the celebrations this month… 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
ILLUSTRATION © MARC ASPINALL | WORDS PIPER TERRETT 1 Europa Hotel To start your St Patrick’s Day in style, stop by the Europa. It has long been the place in Belfast to rub shoulders with the great and the good – Bill and Hillary Clinton famously stayed here. With fi ne dining and a piano bar, it’s also a great way to fi nish the evening, well away from the crowds. Great Victoria Street, tel: +44 (0)28 9027 1066 2 The Crown Liquor Saloon Belfast is full of historic pubs but The Crown is one of its greatest. Owned by the National Trust, it was one of the UK’s most spectacular gin palaces and remains an ideal place to toast St Patrick. Restored to its former glory, it hosts a thriving blues music scene. 46 Great Victoria Street, tel: +44 (0)28 9024 3187 3 Kelly’s Cellars There’s some competition for the title of Belfast’s oldest pub, but Kelly’s Cellars can claim to be the city’s oldest continually licensed premises. Built in 1720, the low ceilings and pleasing gloom make it feel as though things haven’t changed much since then, so it’s the perfect spot for an authentic Irish pint. 30 Bank Street, tel: +44 (0)28 9032 4835 4 The John Hewitt Bar When you’ve worked up an appetite, head for The John Hewitt. Based in Belfast’s trendy Cathedral Quarter, it won Best Gastro Pub 2010 at the Northern Ireland FATE Awards. Owned by the Belfast Unemployed Resource Centre, it’s also a popular venue for live Ulster-Scots music. 51 Donegall Street, tel: +44 (0)28 9023 3768 5 Carnival Parade The carnival parade is Belfast’s main St Patrick’s Day event. Starting from Belfast City Hall at noon and winding its way to Custom House Square, the event features acrobats, pipers and performers, as well as local community groups. The theme this year is the environment, so the parade will be aiming to turn Belfast green in more ways than one. Belfast City Hall, Donegall Square 6 St Patrick’s Day Concert The annual St Patrick’s Day concert kicks off at 1pm with a line-up of traditional music and dance, before headliners Stacey Solomon and Lemar take to the stage and the pre-teen screaming starts. The concert is free and entry is fi rst come fi rst served, so get there when the gates open at noon to stand a chance of seeing the show. Custom House Square 7 McHugh’s Another of the competitors for the oldest pub crown, McHugh’s is based in Belfast’s oldest building. Not that you’ll get much sense of history on St Patrick’s Day – the location on Queen’s Square, just around the corner from the concert venue, means its three fl oors will be packed with partygoers until late. 29–31 Queens Square, tel: +44 (0)28 9050 9999 VAL D’ISÈRE ALPINA LODGE In the heart of Val d’Isère Village. city PEMA VIP* OFFER FOR THE READERS •SPECIAL• 3 minutes walk from the ski runs • 44 fully fitted flats • Individual chalet with spa • Quality service 495 € per week From : a head ** 6 days ski passes and equipment included and delivered directly to the residence *Free 6 - day ski pass (Voucher code : EJ73) For more information & on-line reservations 0033 (0)4 79 41 60 00 www.alpina-lodge.com ** Prices based on rental contracts for 9 people
