Belfast Actually 2: Hit Christmas Comedy Returns to Theatre at The Mill

Theatre at The Mill is delighted to announce the return of award-winning writer and director duo Leesa Harker and Andrea Montgomery with their brand-new Christmas comedy, Belfast Actually 2, running from Thursday 27 November 2025 until Saturday 3 January 2026.

Following the success of last year’s sell-out production, this heart-warming sequel introduces three new couples, each searching for love during the festive season.

Blending local humour with touching moments and familiar Christmas spirit, Belfast Actually 2 promises an evening filled with laughter and charm.

The production features a stellar cast including Patrick McBrearty (Blue Lights) as Farmer Jack, Jo Donnelly (Line of Duty) as Mary, Adam Gillian (Hope Street) as Maximus, Eimear Bailie (Blue Lights) as Lola, Matthew O’Leary as Kimberley, and Emma Little-Lawless (The Fall) as Georgina. Together, they bring to life a fast-paced and funny story about love, friendship and festive chaos.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey Councillor Leah Kirkpatrick said, “I am delighted that Belfast Actually is returning to Theatre at The Mill with a sequel show. Last year’s sell-out performance was a fantastic Christmas night out, showcasing the very best of our home-grown talent. I have no doubt this year’s production will be equally entertaining and a highlight of the festive season.”

Leesa Harker said, “I am delighted to be back at Theatre at The Mill this Christmas with a brand-new Christmas comedy play. Belfast Actually was so popular with audiences, it was an easy decision to bring Belfast Actually 2 to the theatre, promising to be every bit as funny and heart-warming as last year”.

Theatre at The Mill is a warm, welcoming venue in the grounds of Mossley Mill, just a 5-minute walk from Mossley West Train Station. Guests can enjoy free on-site parking, a fully licensed bar, and access to great restaurants and cafés nearby - perfect for a  great day or night out.
