Titanic Belfast is to remain closed until the end of the month following damage to its roof during the recent stormy weather.

The popular visitor attraction has been shut since Tuesday after damage was caused “during Storm Isha and further inclement weather from Storm Jocelyn preventing safe access to the roof”.

It has now been confirmed that following assessment of the repair work needed to be carried out, it will remain closed until January 31.
