Sewa tempat di Northern Ireland

Starting at Belfast city hall (we meet at the front gates of City Hall in Donegall Square North) and finishing by the Beacon of Hope beside the river Lagan, the tour visits 7 locations in the city centre where major events occurred during the conflict. We start with a short introduction to Irish / British history and why the Troubles start in the late 1960’s. Over the course of 1.5 miles and 2 hours and 15 minutes we then tell the stories of each site; what happened and why, who was involved, and the effect these attacks had on the city and its people, affecting nearly every part of our daily lives. We also demonstrate the impact of the peace process; you will witness the social and cultural regeneration of the city as we walk through the Cathedral Quarter and waterfront areas where you will also see some of the street art that demonstrates our newfound vibrant culture. Throughout the tour we use visual aids with images of the Troubles and the places we visit from the 1960’s, 70’s & 80’s to help you envisage the realities of life then compared to now. The tour is factual and historically accurate to ensure it is unbiased and non-partisan, but we also weave our own stories into the tour to bring our history to life for you. There is also time built into the tour to ensure that questions are encouraged from guests and that our answers are meaningful.

We will meet up at the harbour and get you kited out with wetsuit, board and paddle. I will talk you through the basics of paddle boarding and do a little warm up to get you ready for the sea.

Improve your balance, core strength and fitness. Or if conditions are good we can go for a SUPsafari. Celebrate with a glass of Prosecco a wonderful combination and a great way to start the weekend. Other things to note I can also accommodate larger groups up to 10 people. Depending on weather conditions and numbers we may go to different locations along the north coast such as Portballintrae, Ballintoy etc. So if you have any preferences let me know.

In Northern Ireland we are famous for our Potato bread and our Soda breads. Learn how to bake these breads in the traditional way and give it a try! we'll start with morning coffee and traditional sweet treats and then aprons on, it's time to do some bread making! You'll make wheaten or brown bread {my favourite} and soda bread and potato bread. These are all griddle breads so they will be ready in about 15 minutes! We use Griddles to make them. Then once you have made these breads it's time to sit around the big Farmhouse table in my kitchen and devour them with more tea and coffee! You will also enjoy local handmade award winning butters - original and dulse, and my homemade jams with fruits growing wild on the hedges nearby. It is a feast {excuse the pun!} for the eyes! This is a fully immersive experience. You get involved from the start. You will take home all of your freshly made breads along with a copy of all recipes that we used. Now you can impress your friends! Other things to note The experience is very relaxed and easy. You do not have to read recipes etc - it is an enjoyable experience.
