About this deal

In September we tend to do a need assessment with the charities and the food banks we support. The demand definitely seems higher with certain organisations,” said Shah. Although a visit to Belfast City Hall is fairly straightforward, there are a few need-to-knows that’ll make your visit that bit more enjoyable. 1. Location City Hall is open daily from 7am to 7pm during the winter months and from 7am to 9pm in the summer months. It’s completely free to enter the City Hall and there are even free public tours available as well. 3. The tour The official Belfast Coat of Arms was adopted in the late nineteenth century. An extract from the Grant of Arms issued by the Ulster King of Arms on the 30th June 1890 reads as thus: The window is in dedication to the king’s tribute to Ulster’s contribution in the First World War, particularly to the courage and valour of the 36th Ulster Division. The window depicts a medieval warrior and female figure in front of a stone monument headed with the Royal coat of arms. At the bottom is the Ulster flag between the flags of the allies from the First World War; Britain, France, USA and Ireland. In the centre is the following inscription, “their name liveth for evermore”. Underneath is the king’s message that reads, “Your prompt patriotic answer to the nation’s call to arms will never be forgotten. I shall continue to follow with interest the fortunes of your division. I pray that god may bless you in all your undertakings”. George I. The memorial window was unveiled by his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Field Marshall the Viscount French of YPRES. K.P., G.C.V.O., K.C.M.G. on the 26 July 1920, and was created by Ward and Partners, Belfast.

In response to their poor treatment, the women formed the textile workers section of the Irish Transport Workers Union and united to organise the Belfast Linen Strike of 1911. The women mill workers showed solidarity and courage and that courage, strength and faith is an inspiration to the women of today. They believed, ‘if you have faith and courage in each other, you can win’. Women, both present and future will continue to play an important role in leading and shaping our city and changing lives for the better. Through celebrating their history and contribution to the city Belfast city council’s women’s steering group hopes this window will inspire and unite women to continue the work for equality for all and for the uplifting of women’s lives. The window was unveiled in the week of International Women’s Day 2016 by the Lord Mayor, Councillor Arder Carson on Thursday 3 March 2016 and was designed, manufactured and installed by Alpha Stained Glass.

But images such as the bell, the seahorse, the ship and the chained wolf were all used by 17th century Belfast merchants on their signs and coinage. The seahorse, which is used twice, shows the maritime importance of Belfast, as does the ship at the base of the shield. Alexandra Regina - Historic tablet below reads “1892 the style and title of Lord Mayor conferred by Her Majesty upon the Chief Magistrate of the City of Belfast 20th May Daniel Dixon, first Lord Mayor”I think the cost of living is going to have a big effect, particularly on food banks and family centres – we’ve had a couple of new family centres that have said: “Is that something we could support them with for some of their local residents and older people?” The symbols probably have their roots in seventeenth century Belfast as these are found on tokens used by merchants of that time – for example, the bell, the ship, the sea-horse and the chained wolf are all found on the money of Belfast merchants. It is probable that the arms were composed from the merchant’s signs or that the merchants themselves took parts of the arms for use on their coinage. This window is dedicated to the memory of all the individuals and their effected families whose organs and tissue were removed and retained without the knowledge or consent of relatives and families following post-mortem examinations in former times.The outline of a mountain peak and converging pathways speak of hardship shared by those who mourn; while the leaves fall silently from the tree as tears. A red ribbon binds all together in passion and pain. The rising sun however signifies promises of a new dawn. Hope is symbolised by doves ascending and a butterfly spreading its wings in anticipation of flight. United in the light of remembrance, both candles and a multitude of stars preserve the memory of the many loved one commemorated by this window. The Pathways Memorial Window was unveiled by The Right Honourable Lord Mayor Councillor Tom Ekin on Tuesday 18 January 2005.The window was funded by the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety and was designed by Nora Gaston. The design was in collaboration with members of the relatives’ reference group and Karl Harron. It was manufactured by Glass Scene.

The window marks the contribution of those Belfast citizens to the anti-fascist forces during the Spanish Civil War from 1936 – 1939.About 320 Irish volunteers fought against Franco’s forces as members of the XV International Brigade. Of these, forty-eight were born in Belfast. Twelve died in Spain. The Spanish Civil War became for many an opportunity to stand against the growth of fascism. Men and women from all over the world answered the call to defend democracy and their working class counterparts.

The building includes some stunning features including the Grand Staircase, Banquet Hall and Reception Room. Although much remains from the original foundations, the Banquet Hall was partially destroyed during the Belfast blitz in May 1941 and had to be rebuilt. Public memorials in the grounds The vair-along with the supporting wolf-is taken from the arms of Sir Arthur Chichester, the founder of Belfast as it exists today, who obtained the city's charter from James I in 1613. The ship tells of Belfast's pre-eminence as a seaport, as do the seahorses, and the bell is canting. The motto means "What return shall we make for so much?", and is a paraphrase of a verse from Psalm 116. The plaque underneath reads, “this window was unveiled by the Right Honourable Lord Mayor Councillor David Alderdice on 23 March 1999”. The window was designed and made by Calderwood Stained Glass Ltd. It was commissioned by Belfast City Council with the support of the arts council of Northern Ireland through its national lottery fund. The coat of arms of Henry Le Squire, Constable of the Castle of Belfast - A silver and green shield with the head of three swans with crowned blue medieval armour above. Below the arms is displayed the first of the historic tablets in which it is written “1613 Belfast constituted a borough by charter of King James I on 27 April. John Vesey, first sovereign”.

A tablet appears below with the inscription, “1840 by municipal corporations (Ireland) act; the constitution of the corporation was changed. George Dunbar, first Mayor." We’ve had a lot of questions over the years asking about everything from how much the Belfast City Hall tours cost to what hotels are near Belfast City Hall. Only a Pavement Away’s Winter Warmth campaign runs through the National Winter Warmth Week from November 14 to 20. Know ye, therefore, that I, the said Ulster King of Arms, by the power to me given by Her Majesty’s Royal Letters Patent, under the Great Seal of Ireland, and by authority of the same, have assigned and granted, and by these Presents do assign, grant and exemplify to the Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of the City of Belfast, the Arms following, namely – Per fess argent and azure in chief a pile vair, and on a canton gules, a bell argent, in base, a ship with sails set argent on waves of the sea proper.

We will just have to put a little bit of extra effort in,” he added. “We’ve been recruiting extra volunteers for sorting, we’ve got a lot more collection spots opening right across the city. So we’re hopeful and conservatively confident that actually we will be able to meet that extra demand because that’s the reason we’re here.” Working conditions in the mills were horrendous, wages were low, hours were long, health poor and life expectancy low. Women outnumbered male workers but were paid much less, and employers often issued the women with fines for laughing, singing or even adjusting their hair to keep wages low. Around 100 rails were in operation in 2021, Simonwitz said, with some running weekly and others even running all year round. Now in its fifth winter, Take One Leave One is returning in 2022 with the same simple concept that made it such a hit in previous years. Start a Take One Leave One rail in your neighbourhood. All you need is the green light from your community, a rail and a banner to let people know what you’re doing. Or you could volunteer with one of the coat donation projects mentioned above.
