About

Templemore Baths Heritage Experience is a chance to immerse yourself in lovingly restored Victorian architecture and heritage. The only remaining public baths on the island of Ireland, Templemore Baths Heritage Experience includes the original slipper baths, ticket office and bags of industrial and Titanic shipyard heritage stories.  

The building, which has been at the heart of the community for 130 years, tells the stories of those who have used the space for work, leisure and hygiene for generations. Saved from demolition in the 1990s, by passionate and dedicated volunteers, Templemore Baths today stands proudly and lovingly restored to it's former glory in the heart of Belfast's EastSide neighbourhood.  

The former courtyard area has been transformed into an onsite café, which is a great spot for a coffee, cake, or light lunch.
