The Candlelight series continues to amaze audiences inside stunning music venues in Belfast with its signature sea of candles and talented musicians. Candlelight also transforms other settings in the city into gorgeous live music venues, and features anything from striking architecture to temporary exhibitions to historic sites. This past season, Titanic Belfast and St Anne’s Cathedral featured as Candlelight venues, with concerts leaving audiences spellbound.
Fans of the ivories won’t want to miss out on special tributes to Queen, Swifties will feel at home while listening to renditions of Tay’s chart-topping hits, and cinemagoers can look forward to celebrating iconic film soundtracks. With a variety of concerts to choose from, there is something for everyone.
St Anne’s Cathedral: A timeless place
Belfast Cathedral serves two separate dioceses and as a result, has two bishop’s seats. The building is a treasure trove of decorative elements and historic pieces. Tourists flock to this architectural gem to visit the Tomb of Lord Carson, the Titanic Pall, and the Spire of Hope. Listening to classical music while sitting surrounded by the cathedral’s Romanesque features is a one-of-a-kind experience.

Central Church: A hub for spirituality and education
Located in the heart of the city, the Presbyterian church started in late 2016 and has since grown into an active congregation. Nowadays, the church is housed in the historic May Street Presbyterian Church building, a classical Georgian structure built in 1829. Besides worship, community members visit Central Church to attend its many events, including captivating Candlelight concerts.
The Candlelight series has been lighting up Belfast for a while now. From the plush interior of The Belfast Empire Music Hall to Belfast Cathedral’s stunning arches, you’ll find yourself enraptured by more than the magical takes on beloved soundtracks and eternal compositions. Make your way to a historic venue in the city for an unforgettable evening out with family, friends, or a special someone, or enjoy your own company.
The concerts have been met by countless 5-star reviews, and there are plenty of reasons why. Guests have called it “a creative, enchanting, and new concert experience”, and you won’t want to miss out.
