This is a free event
Please note that you must reserve your place in advance by emailing [email protected] or calling 028 9027 0663. Would you like to learn more about the people, places and communities that make Belfast? Are you interested in visiting different places of worship, understanding why different communities celebrate the events they do? If so, come along to our Diverse City events to learn more about the culture and traditions of some of the communities living in Belfast. This is a year long programme with free events happening each month.

This tour, facilitated by Tom Hartley, will introduce participants to the history of Belfast going back 130 years.  In the City Cemetery, the inscriptions tell the story of finance, empire, the rise of northern unionism and the golden era of industrialisation in Belfast.  One of the enduring qualities of the tour is its capacity to remind us today that the political and cultural identity of late 19th Century Belfast was much more complex and layered.  The tour upends old stereotypes and provides a fresh approach to the history of Belfast.
