Go behind the scenes with an exclusive tour of the iconic Ulster Hall in Belfast, on 14 September 2024 for European Heritage Open Day.
Join us for a unique opportunity to see and hear some of the Ulster Hall’s best kept secrets, as your tour guide walks you through the history of one of the oldest purpose-built concert halls in the UK and Ireland.
Designed by the same architect as Belfast’s famous Albert Clock, for over 160 years, the venue has hosted many famous figures.
From Charles Dickens to the Dalai Lama and legends of music including the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, who debuted their classic Stairway to Heaven at the venue in 1971; visitors will also learn why Winston Churchill was once barred from a political event there.
The Annual European Heritage Open Day, organised by the Department for Communities with the support of the Council of Europe and the European Commission, celebrates local architecture, history, and culture in Northern Ireland. The once-a-year event allows visitors to look behind the scenes at familiar landmarks and learn more about their heritage and architecture.
Tickets are extremely limited, so we encourage you to book early to avoid disappointment. We look forward to welcoming you to the venue soon!
