War and conflict – Cultural Walking Tour

Belfast in the late 1700’s was known as a city of the Enlightenment with a flourishing cultural and intellectual life. Some of its citizens played a part in the anti-slavery movement and the founding of the United Irishmen in 1791 was a time of shared history across the community. Join the 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!
