Belfast’s iconic venue, the Ulster Hall Music fans are being given the exclusive and rare opportunity to go behind the scenes at a famous Belfast gigging venue next month. On Saturday 14th September, ticket-holders for three limited release guided tours will get a unique opportunity to see and hear some of the iconic Ulster Hall's best kept secrets, including its role in landmark moments in Belfast’s culture, politics and history. Designed by the same architect as Belfast’s famous Albert Clock , for more than 160 years the Ulster Hall has played host to famous figures such as Charles Dickens and the Dalai Lama, and legends of music including the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, who debuted their classic Stairway to Heaven at the venue in 1971.
