Description

Join your guide Andrew Johnston (of Alternative Ulstours) on a walking tour of historic Belfast cinema sites, from luxury picture palaces to fleeting fleapits!

Step back in time to the city’s golden age of nightlife, when dozens of characterful movie houses entertained the masses!

Along the way, you’ll find out about the Belfast church mission that gave celluloid sermons, the venue where a car bomb brought down the final curtain, the posh movie theatre that allowed unique souvenirs, the Belfast’s billiards bar that took a shot at the silver screen and the only place brave enough to show the original Dracula!
