Belfast Heritage Forum

We are facilitating a Belfast Heritage Forum - a network where organisations with an interest in the city's heritage can meet and exchange information.

As well as the public sector bodies who are involved with heritage, we are keen that smaller heritage and community groups, interested in heritage, become involved.

Heritage is a key element in the social and economic sustainability of Belfast.

A lot of very valuable work is being carried out by small groups - not always branded as 'heritage' - and we are keen to help create a space where good practice can be shared and common problems addressed through a forum.

Get involved

Belfast heritage

Heritage is about more than historic buildings; it is about discovering our past and placing a value on the culture, places and knowledge which we have inherited - these are a big part of what makes us who we are.

We have restored many of our key heritage assets such as St George's Market, the Albert Clock, Belfast Castle and the Gasworks.

Restoration work is currently being carried out on the Ulster Hall which will re-open in early 2009.

There will be an interpretative display in the foyer which will provide information about the history of the Ulster Hall over the years and its impact on Belfast.
