A team of expert guides with in-depth local knowledge will help you dive into the building’s fascinating story. On a visit you can expect to learn how Belfast people used Templemore Baths to wash, swim and socialise from Victorian times, during the Belfast Blitz of WWII and through-out Belfast’s rapid 19th century industrialisation. The exhibition is interactive with videos, audio and game-play.
The cafe and Heritage Centre are all at ground level with lift access to the ‘Minor Pool’ for visitors with extra mobility needs. The modern leisure centre side of the building has high levels of accessibility.
