Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann · Belfast · 2–9 Aug 2026

The alcohol-free guide to the Fleadh

Eight days, 800,000 people, the world's biggest trad festival — in Belfast for the first time. Get Jim's free guide: what's on, how to get about, what to order, and how to have the week of it without a drink.

What's inside

  • What's on — the shape of the week — the Gig Rig, the Fleadh Village, the competitions and the free session tents, mapped out.
  • Getting about — the pedestrianised centre, Park & Ride, the late buses and the bike code worth knowing.
  • What to actually order — the beers and alcohol-free cocktails worth crossing town for, from The Sober Irish curated range.
  • The Atlas Sommelier — your pocket concierge for the week: ask it anything, anywhere.
