Templemore Baths Heritage Experience
Templemore Baths Heritage Experience opened in June 2023 and is a trip through the original Victorian features of the only remaining public baths on the island of Ireland. The restoration of the building has given a home to a fascinating aspect of the social history of Belfast and the local neighbourhood.
Many original features have been lovingly restored including the ‘Major Pool’, which is fully operational for swimming and the old slipper baths. The former courtyard has been transformed into an attractive new atrium with a café.
Templemore Baths Heritage space offers a year-round programme of tours, workshops and events for locals, schools and visitors. The old Victorian Templemore Baths boardroom and the ‘Minor Pool’ can both be hired for meetings and events offering a unique space in the heart of EastSide.
The Heritage Space is open for self-guided visits Monday- Friday, 09:00-17:00 and Saturday-Sunday, 10:00-14:00.
Guided tours are also available to book here
