Join us in October for Positive Ageing Month 2026 and uncover the story of the 1941 Belfast Blitz with a FREE guided walking tour of East Belfast.

This tour focuses on the experiences of those who lived through the air raids on Belfast found within our Oral History collection. These voices capture the chaos and confusion of the air raids, the danger survived as well as emphasising the devastating impact and lasting legacy of the four nights Belfast was 'blitzed'.

The tour will take place on Tuesday 13 October 2026 will begin in Westbourne Street, outside the former Belfast Tool Library at 1pm (What3Words: Sage.Boost.Punt), and finish at the Northern Ireland War Memorial Museum at approximately 3pm. The tour will last around 2 hours in total and is over 2 hours so appropriate clothing and footwear is essential.
