Workshops and Courses

Discover Belfast’s creative side with hands-on workshops and classes that let you roll up your sleeves and try something new. From artisan cookery and baking schools to craft studios offering everything from pottery to printmaking, Belfast invites you to dive into memorable experiences that go far beyond sightseeing.  

Learn to Cook the Belfast Way  

Belfast’s culinary reputation shines not only in its restaurants but also in its welcoming cookery schools. Join a hands-on class to learn how to prepare local favourites, master fresh seafood dishes, or craft showstopping desserts.  

Creative Craft & Art Workshops  

If you love getting creative, Belfast’s craft scene is full of opportunities to learn new skills — and come away with something truly personal. Try your hand at pottery, shaping and glazing your own unique pieces under the guidance of skilled ceramic artists. Explore printmaking, jewellery design or painting workshops, many held in inspiring studio spaces across the city. Many classes are designed to be welcoming for all levels, so you can jump in with zero experience.  

Unique Experiences & Seasonal Classes  

Throughout the year, Belfast’s studios and creative hubs host one-off events that celebrate local traditions and seasonal crafts. From Christmas wreath-making to floral arranging workshops bursting with spring blooms, these short, themed classes are a lovely way to mark your visit with a hands-on memory.  

Keep an eye out for workshops tied to Belfast festivals, offering everything from costume-making to special culinary masterclasses that connect you more deeply to the city’s vibrant culture.
