Troubles Tour - With a Local
At Belfast City Hall you will be provided with an audio headset and receiver so you don’t miss a word. You’ll visit the City Hall before walking to the Peace Walls, approximately 90 minutes. You’ll receive a full, detailed and objective commentary to provide you with the historical and political background to ‘the Troubles’ but the tour is not in chronological order, it relates to places it passes. Please note that a good to fluent command of English is required. Stopping at the International Wall, you’ll get a chance to view the political murals before you visit the Walls. There is ample time for photographs. You’ll return to Belfast City Centre, where you visit the Cathedral Quarter. You’ll meander in and out of historic entries, see the sights and see what’s hidden in plain sight. You’ll learn about our radical history, and the culture and art that makes Belfast such a vibrant and exciting city. You'll take in the City Centre & Albert Clock before the tour finishes in a historic church. You walk inside, you walk back to the late 1700s to a time of revolution and radicalism. Belfast is a city of contrasts, and the tour is designed to reflect that. Expect to be entertained, engaged and informed. The pace of this tour is moderate. You will walk approximately 3.5 miles in 2.5 to 3 hours. We sometimes have 4 seasons in one day, so dress appropriately.

Delightful Donkeys
You will visit the donkeys at our timber stables, close to Crockatinney Cottages, located between Ballycastle & Ballintoy. Proceeds raised by the experience goes towards the donkeys’ care, such as feed, foot trims, and veterinary attention. You will spend time grooming the donkeys, learning how to halter them safely and efficiently, before taking them on a walk along the private trails. We will discuss positive reinforcement as a method of establishing clear lines of communication. We do this using treats, bags of which are provided as part of the experience. You will enjoy a short history of donkeys, the role they played in Irish society historically, and hopefully develop an affection for these mild mannered, docile creatures. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, and we will get competitive doing an in-hand gymkhana in the sand school. We will return to the stables where you will unhalter the donkeys and fetch them their feed.
Award-winning axe throwing experience in Belfast
After a warm welcome to our throwing cages we'll jump right into a safety briefing. This covers how to stay safe, scoring and competition rules (we can't have any cheating at crunch time can we?). Then it is to the reason you guys are all here, the AXES. We'll run through the basic technique, how to hold and how to throw the axe. Once we're through this, it is down to you to have a go! I'll be on hand throughout the session, watching your throw, offering advice on how you can improve. What is really important to me is that you start to understand your own technique so when you finally leave, you're a fully fledged axe ninja! Once the basics are out of the way it's quickly onto a wide selection of new throws, double-handed, throwing with the axe head facing backwards, throwing 2 axes at once. These will all help you to develop a strong technique in time for our rapid fire round and then ..the team COMPETITON! Pit your skills against the others in your group, competition mode always brings out some strong axe game! Finally, If we have any time left over at the end I'll show you a trick shot or two that only the pro's get to use Other things to note We are unable to accept bookings from those under 16 years of age or pregnant. Guests will not be permitted to partake in the activity if they are intoxicated and please wear sensible shoes, no sandals!

Ik zal ook verhalen vertellen over netelagie en hoe ze in veel Ierse folkloreverhalen te zien zijn.

Ik zal je laten zien hoe ze worden geplukt en voorbereid. Ik zal je dan laten zien hoe je een typisch Noord-Ierse dienbladstaart genaamd 'Fifteens' maakt met een nettle twist. Je kunt ook deelnemen aan een aantal handen op ervaring van het maken ervan! Je kunt ook veel gerechten proeven die zijn gemaakt van netles, waaronder nettlebrood, nettle-snoepjes, hartelijk en zelfs nettlebier!
