Revolutionary Belfast 1770s – 1790s | Cultural Walking Tour

Belfast in the late 1770’s was known as a city of the Enlightenment with a flourishing intellectual and cultural life. Some of its leading citizens played a part in the ant-slavery movement and the founding of the United Irishmen in 1791 was a time of a shared history across the community. Come on this tour to learn about this fascinating time in the city’s history.

Following on from the success of previous years, Cultural Walking Tours have become a welcome part of the Festival.  We have again teamed up with the Northern Ireland Tourist Guide Association to bring you a series of cultural and interesting walking tours.  The best way to explore the city is on foot and with highly knowledgeable professional guides leading the way and you’ll experience a whole other side to Belfast.  Whether you are a resident of Northern Ireland who wants to know more about our capital or are visiting the City for the first time, these tours are a must!
