Come on down to where circus meets the sea for some amazing acts, fun and frolics for all the family.
Located in the heart of the Titanic Quarter, at The Arc, beside The Belfast Marina, a perfect amphitheatre to sit back, stay a while and enjoy a variety of performances.
Fools Ahoy! from 11am to 6pm each day, there will be plenty going on with a line-up of local and international artists, and amazing standout performances.
