Belfast Linen Neigbourhood Tour
Belfast Linen Neighbourhood
At the time indicated, we'll meet outside Ulster Hall to start this interesting guided tour. Ready to explore this fascinating neighbourhood in the centre of Belfast?
The Belfast Linen Neighbourhood went from a thriving linen industry in the 1800s to a bustling area in the city centre today. On this guided tour, we'll discover its distinct past and present. We'll pass iconic venues such as the Grand Opera House and other lesser-known hidden gems. Our guide will tell us lots of fascinating stories about people and events that span 250 years of history.
You'll learn where the largest bell in the city rings out from and why it was silenced for a while. Did you know that Led Zeppelin played the famous song ‘Stairway to Heaven’ live in 1971 in Belfast for the first time?
We'll also discuss the linen industry, which was so significant in this city's growth and past. You'll see where linen and other workers would go for their weekly baths before homes were modernised. Today, the area is a vibrant hospitality zone, with many venues, pubs, restaurants and bars that are super popular.
Belfast is also a city with lots of incredible street art that decorates its buildings. We'll admire its impressive architecture, famous entertainment venues, quaint bars and quirky shops as we explore this city.
After 2 hours, we'll end this walking tour of Belfast's Linen Neighbourhood by Flaxx, a trendy area in the city centre. Until next time!
