If you don’t bend, you break.

Life suddenly got very different. Almost everything about our daily lives changed almost overnight – most notably our ability to participate in, and enjoy, live events together.

As a result, we’ve had to react quickly to rapidly unfolding events and take an entirely new approach to the Imagine! festival for this year. While we’ve had to trim the programme to fit the new format, we’re happy to announce that the festival will be happening right here this year – so for everyone staying safe at home, we’ll be presenting a programme of live-streamed and specially recorded events from 25 – 27 March.

Events will roll out over the three day period and there are two ways you can enjoy events over the festival period: you can stay in your PJs and enjoy the rolling feed on our Imagine! LIVE page – or simply visit individual event pages, where video content will automagically appear at the allotted event time.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at hello@imaginebelfast.com. As you can ‘imagine’ we have suffered a major loss of ticket income and will incur additional costs in moving events to an online platform, so if you have the resources please feel free to make a donation, no matter how small, via our charity giving page.

Stay safe and join us here for some big ideas on culture and politics.

Best wishes from the Imagine! team.
