Is May the best month of the year? We think it may be (no pun intended). What? You disagree? Bank Holidays, that is all we are saying. May brings not one, but two bank holidays (Beat that, August). Not convinced yet? Let us show you why May is indeed the best month of the year and Belfast the best city to spend it.
BELFAST MARITIME FESTIVAL
So many thrilling events take place throughout the city this month. One to get very excited about is the Belfast Maritime Festival, which returns to Titanic Quarter from 25th to 27th May. Get ready to enjoy a great sample of maritime-themed family fun, take in the sights of the tall ships docked at Queen’s Quay and hop aboard some magnificent vessels. Get a taste of the sea at Titanic Hotel Belfast with our famous Shipyard Chowder!
One of the highlights of the Belfast Maritime Festival are the evening performances of Jimmy Ellis: Home Again, an auto-biographical reflection of the late actor’s family home and life, working at the docks during his childhood in East Belfast. The performances will take place at 7pm on Saturday 25th May and Sunday 26th May.

Jimmy Ellis Maritime Experience to the fullest with Titanic Hotel Belfast’s exclusive offer: an overnight stay in an Executive Room, complimentary car parking for 24 hours, tickets to Titanic Belfast and tickets to the Jimmy Ellis: Home Again show In the Andrews Gallery for only £190 per room.
