Sunday Secrets: Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park

Generally just shortened to Lady Dixon Park this lovely Belfast City Council park is the host to Rose Week every year and also a favourite for wedding photos.

This tree bough is a frequent perch for brides and grooms but there is no need to get married to take advantage of it! With a nice coffee shop, toilets and parking its a great venue for some lovely photos.

Just be aware that if you are making money out of your photography or filming then you need to apply for permission in writing at least five working days in advance first and pay a fee of £24 per hour. If you are just out taking pictures of your family that is fine but if you have lights and gear with you and “look” professional be prepared to answer some questions. Be honest, if it is just you practicing and learning that’s ok. But if you are out making money you should already have permission, and public liability insurance, like all professional photographers. If in any doubt what you are doing give Belfast city council a shout and ask first :)
