Sold OutStep back in time as you enter through the gates of Clifton Street Cemetery. Opened by the Belfast Charitable Society in 1797, the cemetery catered to all of the citizens of Belfast.
During the tour, you will visit the graves of radicals and reformers from a time when Belfast was the ‘Athens of the North’, as well as the final resting places of the industrial giants who helped to shape Belfast into a global powerhouse.
Your tour guide will tell you tales of bodysnatching and the thousands of souls who lie in unmarked graves. Some lived out their final days in the Poor House; others died without friends to bury them. Those who tragically lost their lives in the 1832 cholera epidemic and the Irish Potato Famine also lie within its walls
All human life rests in Clifton Street Cemetery. Come and discover the stories for yourself!
