FAQs
How do I get to Waterfront Hall?
The Waterfront sits right on the River Lagan in the city centre. Belfast Central station is about a 10-minute walk along the river — really easy. Great Victoria Street is about 15 minutes on foot. Lots of Translink Metro buses stop nearby on Oxford Street and Donegall Quay.
Is there parking nearby?
There's a multi-storey at Lagan Valley Island nearby, and several NCP car parks within 5 minutes' walk on Oxford Street and Queen's Quay. The city centre is compact so walking from most central car parks is fine. Paid on-street parking is limited on match days.
What are the best pubs near the venue?
The Bittles Bar on Victoria Square is a Belfast institution — brilliant atmosphere and a short walk. The Merchant Hotel on Skipper Street is great if you want something smarter. The Duke of York in the Cathedral Quarter is a must for traditional Belfast pub culture, about 10 minutes on foot.
Is there a dress code?
No formal dress code — snooker fans tend to be smart casual. The auditorium is air-conditioned so bring a layer for evening sessions.
When do doors open and how early should I arrive?
Doors typically open 30–45 minutes before each session. Afternoon sessions usually start around 1pm and evening sessions around 7pm, though check your ticket for exact times. Arrive at least 20 minutes early — the Waterfront can fill up quickly for big matches and they take a few minutes to usher everyone to their seats in silence.
Which sessions are most likely to sell out?
The Final on Sunday and both Semi-Finals on Saturday go fastest — especially if local favourite Mark Allen is still in the draw. Any session featuring Ronnie O'Sullivan or Judd Trump tends to spike in demand too. Early-round sessions midweek are easier to come by.
