ABOUT<br />
BELFAST<br />
Belfast<br />
Set on the coast of one of the world’s natural<br />
deep water harbours, beneath Cave Hill<br />
<strong>and</strong> Black Mountain, lies Belfast. Proud <strong>and</strong><br />
confident, this vibrant city which is renowned<br />
the world over for the warmth of its people,<br />
has been dramatically transformed in the<br />
past ten years. Belfast, derived from the Irish<br />
Béal Feirste meaning “mouth of the river”,<br />
prides itself on its hospitality <strong>and</strong> its ability to<br />
make the visitor feel right at home.<br />
Belfast, <strong>Northern</strong> Irel<strong>and</strong>’s capital city, is located on the<br />
northeast tip of the isl<strong>and</strong> of Irel<strong>and</strong>. <strong>Northern</strong> Irel<strong>and</strong><br />
is part of the United Kingdom, but enjoys a charm <strong>and</strong><br />
character all of its own.<br />
In recent years a change in the political climate <strong>and</strong> boost<br />
in the economy have turned the country <strong>and</strong> its capital into<br />
one of the most desirable destinations in Europe. Belfast is<br />
today playing host to an increasing number of international<br />
leisure <strong>and</strong> business visitors.<br />
As Belfast develops as a tourist destination, so too its<br />
appeal to the international meeting <strong>and</strong> incentive market<br />
grows. Access to the city is continually increasing with<br />
direct flights from the US, Canada <strong>and</strong> Europe.<br />
Belfast is a very compact city <strong>and</strong> visitors can enjoy worldclass<br />
venues <strong>and</strong> international hotels all within easy walking<br />
distance. Complemented by a unique heritage, cultural<br />
vibrancy, cutting edge <strong>and</strong> Victorian architecture, world-class<br />
shopping, restaurants <strong>and</strong> entertainment, the city is fast<br />
becoming a favourite for the business <strong>and</strong> leisure tourist.<br />
‘Belfast has a warmth <strong>and</strong> friendliness that<br />
completely upended my prejudices. I have been<br />
a regular visitor to the city for the last 20 years,<br />
drawn back by the audiences, the life of the<br />
city itself, <strong>and</strong> the beauty of the scenery that<br />
surrounds it.’ Michael Palin<br />

Quarters<br />
A City of<br />
Belfast’s changing skyline is testament to<br />
the millions of pounds of investment that has<br />
taken place over the past few years. These<br />
ongoing changes can be seen throughout<br />
the city within the various “quarters”.<br />
Titanic Quarter, Europe’s largest <strong>and</strong> most exciting<br />
waterfront development is dominated by two iconic<br />
yellow cranes, Samson <strong>and</strong> Goliath. These huge symbolic<br />
reminders of Belfast’s industrial past st<strong>and</strong> tall as the<br />
surrounding area is developed into a multi-million pound<br />
harbour front <strong>and</strong> leisure space.<br />
Cathedral Quarter is the city’s new social hub. The recently<br />
opened five star Merchant Hotel, housed in the beautifully<br />
restored former Ulster Bank building, overlooks an array<br />
of new art galleries, restaurants, bars <strong>and</strong> nightclubs. Set<br />
amongst the Quarter’s cobbled streets these sympathetic<br />
developments add to the cosmopolitan feel of a city that<br />
seems able to embrace its future without letting go of its<br />
historic charm.<br />
Queen’s Quarter, centred around the bustling Queen’s<br />
University in the south of the city is a dynamic <strong>and</strong> lively area<br />
well known for its Belfast Festival at Queen’s, the biggest<br />
festival of its kind in Irel<strong>and</strong>.<br />
As the face of Belfast changes so the city continues to<br />
build on its reputation as an industrial leader. Famed for<br />
its established trades of ship building <strong>and</strong> linen making,<br />
Belfast is today renowned for its position as a leader in<br />
financial services, electronics, manufacturing, life sciences<br />
<strong>and</strong> telecoms. In addition the city’s internationally renowned<br />
universities, Queen’s University <strong>and</strong> the University of Ulster,<br />
have been key drivers in <strong>Northern</strong> Irel<strong>and</strong>’s technology,<br />
knowledge <strong>and</strong> Research & Development industries.<br />
Belfast <strong>and</strong> its people look forward to welcoming more<br />
international visitors to the city. The city’s skyline may<br />
be changing but one thing will always remain - a warm<br />
And Gaeltacht Quarter in West Belfast is home to Irel<strong>and</strong>’s<br />
largest community festival – Feile an Phobail as well as the<br />
world renowned political murals.<br />
Belfast is quickly gaining a reputation as one of Europe’s<br />
shopping capitals. Its array of designer boutiques <strong>and</strong> high<br />
street stores is complemented by numerous shopping<br />
complexes, which includes the newly opened Victoria<br />
Square. This £320m shopping complex is one of the largest<br />
shopping centres in Europe.<br />
did you know?<br />
The world’s most famous ship, the Titanic,<br />
was built in Belfast <strong>and</strong> her legend is<br />
being celebrated through Belfast’s new<br />
development, Titanic Quarter, set to be<br />
Europe’s largest riverfront development.<br />

Belfast<br />
Castle<br />
Ballywalter Park is the home of Lord & Lady<br />
Dunleath <strong>and</strong> has been in the family’s ownership<br />
since it was built by Brian Dunleath’s great, great<br />
great gr<strong>and</strong>father in 1846. It was designed by one<br />
of Irel<strong>and</strong>’s most eminent architects, Sir Charles<br />
Lanyon, <strong>and</strong> built in the Italianate Palazzo style. It<br />
is situated on the Ards Peninsula, some 18 miles<br />
from Belfast, with views out to the Irish Sea <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Scottish Coast beyond.<br />
The house has undergone extensive refurbishment<br />
<strong>and</strong> upgrading in recent years <strong>and</strong> it is now<br />
available as a prestigious <strong>and</strong> luxurious venue<br />
for conferences, corporate dinners <strong>and</strong> incentive<br />
events. Ballywalter Park is available only for a<br />
limited number of events each year, ensuring that<br />
each one is given the fullest attention to ensure<br />
complete satisfaction <strong>and</strong> total success. As a<br />
matter of course, clients are guaranteed exclusive<br />

larger lunches or dinners, whilst the Dining Room<br />
can seat up to 24 guests. The panelled Library<br />
provides the perfect location to relax after a busy<br />
day, as do the Billiard <strong>and</strong> Smoking Rooms. The<br />
Conservatory comes into its own in the warmer<br />
months for pre-dinner drinks, <strong>and</strong>, as an alternative,<br />
the magnificent Inner Hall, rising to the full height of<br />
the house, throughout the year.<br />
All the catering is prepared in house by Lady<br />
Dunleath, who is a professional food historian,<br />
<strong>and</strong> her team, using only ingredients sourced<br />
on the estate or from very local suppliers. Meals<br />
are complemented by fine wines from the house<br />
cellars which contain 3,500 bottles, selected by<br />
Lord Dunleath <strong>and</strong> based on his many years of<br />
experience in the wine trade.<br />

highly individual twin or double bedrooms, each<br />
with its own en-suite or private bathroom.<br />

Malone House, a late Georgian Mansion, is set<br />
among the rolling meadows <strong>and</strong> parkl<strong>and</strong> of<br />
Barnett Demesne in South Belfast. Sited on a<br />
hilltop, the house comm<strong>and</strong>s superb views over<br />
some of the most attractive l<strong>and</strong>scape of the<br />
Lagan Valley Regional Park.<br />
The last owner William Barnett bequeathed Malone<br />
House <strong>and</strong> it grounds to the citizens of Belfast in<br />
1946 <strong>and</strong> the grounds were opened to the public<br />
under the name of Barnett Demesne. Malone<br />
House was leased to the National Trust in the early<br />
1970’s, It was almost totally destroyed by fire in<br />
1976 but was rebuilt by Belfast City Council <strong>and</strong><br />
re-opened to the public in June 1983.<br />
Since then Malone House has been used to host<br />
a wide range of events to include conferences,<br />
meetings, art exhibitions <strong>and</strong> private dinners. In the<br />
main function room, the French doors lead to the<br />
flagstone patio area <strong>and</strong> gardens outside, adding<br />
to the flexibility of the venue.<br />
Malone House is well noted for its friendly, relaxed<br />
atmosphere <strong>and</strong> the excellence of its cuisine,<br />
making it a popular meeting place for social <strong>and</strong><br />
House<br />
SS Nomadic was built at Harl<strong>and</strong> & Wolff alongside Titanic,<br />
specifically to carry 1st & 2nd class passengers out to the ill-fated<br />
liner <strong>and</strong> her sister Olympic when they called into the French port of<br />
Cherbourg.<br />
On 10th April 1912, Nomadic ferried a number of the ship’s famous<br />
passengers <strong>and</strong> well-known characters, many of whom would play<br />
out their final hours in the world’s most famous maritime disaster.<br />
After 96 years, Nomadic has now returned to Belfast to undergo<br />
restoration <strong>and</strong> is set to become one of the country’s major tourist<br />
attractions.<br />
Onboard, visitors can experience the same splendour & opulence,<br />
see a world-class Titanic & White Star Line exhibition <strong>and</strong> view films<br />
<strong>and</strong> lectures whilst enjoying a drink or light snack.<br />
It is hoped to have SS Nomadic fully restored by 2011, the<br />
centenary of her launch.<br />
