Sean Murphy, Regional Manager Branches NI, Ulster Bank, said: “Free Festival Friday is an excellent example of what the Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s is all about.

“ It’s inclusive, it’s fun and it demonstrates that the Festival is an event that’s built around local communities.

“At Ulster Bank, through our partnership with the Festival, we want to offer as many people as possible a passport to the arts.

“This initiative is a great way of helping bring that about and connecting people to the world-class events coming to Belfast.”

Richard Wakely, Director, at the Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s, commented: “Free Festival Friday is a fun and entertaining way for everyone in the city to get involved with the Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s.

“ . . . I look forward to seeing communities and groups throughout this vibrant city embracing this year’s Festival.”

The Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s is credited with presenting great and diverse works of art from home and abroad, bringing audiences something very special that they cannot see elsewhere, all combining to deliver one unique festival which runs throughout the city from 16 October – 1 November.

The 2014 Festival features 26 premieres, performers from 18 different countries and 110 events covering classical and contemporary music, film, dance, theatre, talks and visual arts.

The Festival would not be possible without the support of sponsors and public-sector funders including Title Sponsor, the Ulster Bank, Principal Funder, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, the Northern Ireland Tourist Board, Queen’s University, Belfast City Council, the British Council, O2 International Sim, Belfast Harbour, Arts & Business NI and Department for Social Development, plus the many venues, performers and partner organisations whose commitment and passion bring the arts to life for all to enjoy.
