East Belfast Blitz Walking Tour

To mark the 85th anniversary of the Easter Tuesday Raid, we're launching a NEW walking tour of East Belfast.

Join us on Friday 17 April 2026 to uncover the story of the Belfast Blitz of 1941 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 4 nights Belfast was 'blitzed'.

The tour will begin in Westbourne Street, outside the former Belfast Tool Library at 1pm (What3words- Sage.Boost.Punt), and finish at Northern Ireland War Memorial Museum at approximately 3pm. The tour will last around 2 hours in total and is over 2 miles so appropriate footwear is essential.

Booking is essential though Eventbrite.

Northern Ireland War Memorial, 21 Talbot Street, Belfast, BT1 2LD.
