About
Experience Mary Ann McCracken’s Belfast, as you walk in the footsteps of this remarkable abolitionist, philanthropist and social reformer
Mary Ann McCracken, who was born over 250 years ago, is intrinsically linked to the city of Belfast. She lived her fearless life championing causes, moving from place to place, always on a mission to make life better for those less fortunate than herself.
On this unique walking tour of Belfast you will hear about her more radical nature, her role in the work of the United Irishmen, the 1798 rebellion and beyond. Listen to the stories lifted from her own letters which showd the devotion she had towards her older brother Henry Joy – hanged for his leading role in the rebellion.
Our expert guide will take you to the locations linked to her life, her endeavours and that of her family. You will be led through the same streets she walked over 200 years before. Starting at Clifton House, where Mary Ann’s thirst for philanthropic causes first began, and where her impact can still be seen today, the tour finishes near Belfast City Hall.
