Five adventures for 2022
Northern Ireland: F
rom music to microbreweries, it’s the small things that give Northern Ireland its giant spirit. The region is famed for its foot-tapping folk music and
songwriting heroes – so much so that Belfast was awarded Unesco City of Music status just last month, giving holidaymakers yet another reason to visit. And Northern Ireland is branching out beyond
its whiskey distilleries and perfect pints of Guinness to revive its microbrewery heritage,
which travellers can sample aplenty on a trip. But the big reasons to visit Northern Ireland
in 2022 don’t end there. The region is building on its already sizeable
attractions to draw in even more visitors next year. Fans of epic TV show Game of Thrones will be able to explore Linen Mills Studios in Banbridge where the series was shot, plus Belfast’s state-of-the-art Titanic Belfast experience celebrates 10 years since its debut. With all that in mind, here are five of the top reasons to visit Northern Ireland in 2022.
The Dark Hedges, County Antrim
Live music at The Northern Whig, Belfast 1 BELFAST’S WORLD-CLASS MUSIC SCENE
Just as the Northern Irish capital is awarded Unesco City of Music status, Belfast’s buzzing music scene is swinging back into action. Traditional folk music can be found
in pubs throughout the city, while concerts by local hit-makers such as Van Morrison and Snow Patrol are packed to the rafters. To get immersed in the fun, clients can head to The Dirty Onion, housed in Belfast’s oldest building and host to live music seven nights a week. Alternatively, for traditional tunes and a warm-hearted welcome, the Duke of York is a Belfast bar with live music, great Guinness and a huge selection of Irish whiskeys.

MAGNIFICENT MICROBREWERIES
Belfast’s local beer is having a
renaissance thanks to the restoration of its old breweries. Leading the way is The Deer’s Head, now the city centre’s first modern brewpub. Once owned by John Bell, it was a key player in Belfast’s original beer revolution, and the entire workings of Bell’s Brewery have recently been restored. Meanwhile, in Derry~Londonderry, the Walled City Brewery has crafted more than 200 varieties since it opened in 2015.
