The Linen Hall Tour

Join us on a tour of the oldest library in the Belfast and the only remaining subscription library in Ireland. Housed in a Victorian-era former linen warehouse on Donegall Square North, The Linen Hall is home to The Belfast Library and Society for Promoting Knowledge which developed from the Belfast Reading Society which was founded on 13 May 1788.

This tour gives a general overview of the history of the library and its many unique collections, which cover a range of specialist areas from Irish history and politics to theatre and performing arts.

Tours start at 10:30am on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week* and cost £10 per person.

This tour is free for new members to the library plus one guest. To learn more about becoming a member of the library please visit: https://linenhall.com/become-a-member/
