As a bisexual woman and employee of @PRONI_DFC, I could not be prouder today to be marching with the Northern Ireland Civil Service LGBTQ+ Staff Network at @belfastpride! #pride 🏳️‍🌈

#MapMonday is back! 🗺️
Today, we are bringing you a Belfast City Tramway System map! 🚋
This early 20th-century map from the papers of the Belfast Corporation showcases the intricate tramway network that once connected Belfast.

Woah, this is so cool!

[The Linen Hall @thelinenhall]

The Linen Hall is delighted to welcome Hope the Lego Suffragette, a life-size model on loan from the Houses of Parliament. Crafted from an impressive 32,327 Lego bricks and assembled by 3 people over 171 hours, this remarkable installation serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles and triumphs of the women’s suffrage movement. You can find Hope proudly displayed on Level 2 inside The Linen Hall.

One of the best things about moving to a new place is discovering new #music. Here in #Belfast, my favorite local #band is Mr. Pink. And lucky me, they are headlining this Friday night at @pavilionbelfast!

Update from @thelinenhall: Apparently the cafe will re-open “soon” under new management. Happy days!

[Becky Cruze @HistorianBecky]

I just found out the cafe inside the @thelinenhall has closed and am beyond crushed. 😭

[Becky Cruze @HistorianBecky]

@thelinenhall @little_aine Oh, that’s fantastic news!!

@little_aine @thelinenhall I don’t know anything officially. But what I’ve heard through the grapevine is that the company that was operating the cafe was struggling financially. I hope someone else will take over the cafe and reopen it!
