museum late: keep 'er lit

Bout Ye Belfast? We’re having a wee do on Thursday 22nd August and we'd love to see you there. Consider this your invitation to KEEP 'ER LIT at the Ulster Museum Late from 18:00 to 22:00 - adults only. 

Expect the unexpected at the Ulster Museum Late. Get creative with life drawing, watch adult science shows with Scientific Sue and try out an art in motion VR experience, green screen photo booth and an experimental synth station with Nerve Centre. Explore the Archaeology Neolithic Minecraft world (usually for kids! So this one's for the big kids) and follow a Trad Trail with An Droichead. Bring a tote or a t-shirt with you for some screen printing fun with NI Science Festival. Learn to play the ukelele in under ten minutes with Vicondre Music, and learn all about archeology - from prehistoric bushcraft to bead making. Local DJ Marion Hawkes will be setting the mood all evening, while you explore our art, nature and science galleries after hours - plus, get inked by our tattoo artists so you can carry your favourite museum pieces with you forever.* After all, the museum belongs to you!

There'll be BBQ & Pizza food stalls plus a bar (and a special Spritz bar) so you can head straight to the museum after work! (Remember to bring your ID for the bar). 

Who said stay and play was just for kids? Come along. Bring your mates and 'mon in!

Tickets are a fiver and bookable through the button below.
