Activities

Getting active doesn’t have to mean endless hours in the great outdoors, as Belfast offers a host of alternative activities that are just as much fun! Play on some of the world’s most famous golf courses on a virtual golf facility at Citigolf, or practice your swing while avoiding the cannons at Pirates Adventure Golf. Get your skates on at Northern Ireland’s premier ice rink or for the more competitive, why not shoot some pool, or go for a strike at one of Belfast’s state of the art bowling alleys. Or if you prefer the thrills of the slides or want to practice your dives, Lagan Valley Leisureplex offers some of the most unique leisure facilities in the British Isles. Bicycles are not an unusual sight around the city. For visitors and locals alike, Belfast offers cyclists lots of options to explore. The Lagan and Lough Cycle Way provides a total of 21 miles of flat, traffic-free, scenic paths, connecting Lisburn to Newtownabbey and following the beautiful Lagan Towpath and Belfast Lough.

Belfast is a sports fan’s ideal city. With very little forward planning no event is ever beyond reach. Fancy a game of golf? Or is rugby your thing? How about horse or greyhound racing? Then we have it all and more.

Ice Hockey is our new passion and we avidly follow the exploits of the Belfast Giants in their home ground the Odyssey Arena. Why not squeeze in a game of Gaelic Football, an exciting mix of soccer and rugby, or catch some Hurling, it's fast pace and athleticism is sure to leave you breathless and wanting more. "Ready all, Row" is a familiar command that echoes across the evening Lagan where training for competitive rowing is a familiar sight and if sailing is your thing then Belfast Lough is your playground.
