About

"A new tour celebrating writers associated with Belfast!

Meeting at Writers' Square, where the tour begins, hear about the local writers whose works are quoted on the paving stones there – including C S Lewis, John Hewitt and Louis MacNeice. Moving through the city, learn too about authors with more fleeting associations with Belfast; including Jonathan Swift, Anthony Trollope and Charles Dickens.

The tour will walk guests up to The Crescent and the Seamus Heaney Centre in South Belfast, to hear about the lives and achievements of other successful writers and contemporary authors, including Helen Lewis, Helen Waddell, Seamus Heaney and Glenn Patterson."
