Who
we are
We’re NerdyNI, and we’re building the nerdy Northern Ireland we all deserve.
After the pandemic, Northern Ireland Nerds and Sub-Communities where scattered (more than usual). So I launched the Belfast Nerd Pub Quiz to bring people together.
It took off. The demand, the costumes, the community… it was electric.
Now we’re on a mission to create events that celebrate fandoms, forge friendships, and make Northern Ireland feel like home for every nerd.
Big cities don’t own the culture. We’re building our own right here.

NerdyNI’s where you’ll find the best Northern Ireland nerd events. Quizzes, gaming nights, cosplay meetups, comic swaps… if it’s nerdy and happening in NI, it’s probably here.

Everything from Belfast geek events, like themed dance nights, markets, to tabletop nights in smaller towns. Some big, some small.
Could be a packed pub quiz in the city, could be a few of us in a café talking Star Wars.

Nope. We cover NI nerd events across the country. Derry, Bangor, Lisburn, anywhere folks are up for a bit of geekery.

There’s the Nerdy NI Community online, where people swap nerdy news and plan nights out.
