Thousands of football fans descended on Belfast recently for the European Super Cup final in the same week Tom Jones entertained music lovers at the city’s Custom House Square.

‘It’s Not Unusual’ for large scale music gigs and sports matches to be taking place during the summer months in Northern Ireland, but after the 18 months we have all just experienced these events seemed even more special.

Chelsea fans celebrated a famous victory in the showpiece Super Cup final but the sight of 13,000 fans at a stadium gave everyone a reason to cheer.

This month, Belsonic returned to the delight of local music fans and we also celebrate the ‘Green Green Grass of Home’ at Northern Ireland’s largest agricultural show, the Balmoral Show, after both events were cancelled last year.

However, we know we are not out of the woods just yet and we must remain vigilant against this terrible pandemic, but seeing events, both major and community-led, return is such a welcome development.

Across the country community events and festivals are returning and with Stormont giving the go ahead for conference halls and exhibitions to return there are definite signs of more normal times.

A quick search on Google reveals plans for a wide range of events planned for the rest of the year. These include everything from community barbecues to concerts featuring world famous stars.

For organisers of these events, no matter the size, we would recommend considering event insurance.
