A PEACEPLUS Interfaith & Belief Walking Tour exploring often-overlooked stories of openness & tolerance in 19th & early 20th century Belfast

Join us at the front door of Belfast City Hall for a PEACEPLUS Interfaith and Belief Project walking tour organised by the Corrymeela Community exploring the often-overlooked stories of a Belfast that was remarkably open, tolerant and globally connected in the 19th and early 20th centuries. As we walk through the city centre, you’ll encounter landmarks linked to various faith and belief perspectives and hear how people of those perspectives contributed to Belfast’s growth, culture and civic life.

This guided tour brings history to life through real examples of cooperation, compassion and shared purpose—offering a fresh perspective on a city better known for its divisions.

Together we’ll ask an important question: If Belfast could be welcoming then, can it be welcoming now?

Come, walk with us, and be part of shaping a more inclusive future.

The tour will end at 2 Royal Avenue with an optional discussion. Join us for an hour afterwards (from 3-4pm or as long as you can stay) to discuss the role of faith and belief groups in the life of the city in light of the walk.

Please dress appropriately for the weather!
