The Baroque Revival civic centrepiece of Belfast city centre, completed in 1906, with a prominent dome, marble interiors, Council Chamber, and Banqueting Hall — a frequent backdrop in Belfast-set productions and news media.
About this location
Belfast City Hall stands on Donegall Square in the centre of Belfast, a Baroque Revival building completed in 1906 in Portland stone with a central dome rising to around 53 metres. The building houses Belfast City Council and provides a formal civic setting that anchors the central square. Internally, the Entrance Hall and Great Hall feature marble floors and columns, ornate plasterwork ceilings, and carved stone detail. The Council Chamber is an intact Edwardian civic interior. The Banqueting Hall on the first floor is a formal event space also available for filming bookings. The exterior east and west wings frame the building with curved colonnades, and the surrounding Donegall Square gardens are a public open space that forms part of the city centre civic precinct. The building appears regularly as a background in Belfast-set news coverage, and Reddit threads discussing NI political events frequently show the building as a gathering point. Belfast City Council manages filming and events enquiries through the City Hall events team.
