Tuesday 22 - Saturday 26 September 2026

Join us on our tour of Northern Ireland from our comfortable base in Belfast. The city’s architecture reflects the

affluence and wealth enjoyed from the linen trade and its status as a major urban centre. These commercial links continue to prosper and following a renaissance of Belfast the city is peaceful once again, and undergoing a radical programme of redevelopment and renovation.

The city’s history is inextricably bound with the fortunes of the Harland and Wolff shipyard and the tragic loss of the RMS Titanic. The Titanic Experience, which we will visit, charts the history of the ship from its inception to its demise in the icy waters of the North Atlantic on 15 April 1912. Visits outside the city will include Glenarm Castle and the private estate of Grey Abbey House. We shall also journey up the north Antrim Coastline to the breathtaking Giant’s Causeway, a unique configuration of naturally created stone columns.

Further details to follow.

Sandham Memorial Chapel was commissioned by Mary and Louis Behrend as a memorial to Mary's brother, Lieutentant Henry Willoughby Sandham, who died at the end of World War One. It was designed by Lionel Pearson in the 1920s and was built to accommodate a series of painintings by Stanley Spencer inspired by his own experiences of the war. Created to honour the 'forgotten dead' who were not remembered on any official memorials, the series chronicles Spencer's everyday experiences as a medical orderly and soldier on the Salonika front, and is peppered with personal and unexpected details. The chapel is dominated by the Resurrection scene behind the altar, in which the dead solidiers carry the white wooden crossed that marked their graves to Christ. The Paintings took six years to complete.
