Overview

We want to hear your views on how we can attract new visitors to Belfast city centre to increase footfall and spend on Sundays, particularly during the spring and summer months.

Following the fire at Bank Buildings in August 2018, the Council and a range of partners invested in activities to drive footfall back into the city centre and increase spend. We learned that the only way to do this is to take a wider approach to city centre regeneration by focusing on enhancing the retail offer, improving accessibility into and around the city, increasing the provision of cultural and leisure facilities, creating family spaces, supporting residential areas and enhancing the visitor experience for tourists.

Following on from this work, we are now developing a ‘Sundays in the City’ programme to help attract new visitors to Belfast city centre on Sundays, especially during spring and summer.
