As part of EHOD 2025, the museum is opening its doors for two unique tours on Saturday 13 September. Booking is essential.
Lisburn from Above! Behind the scenes at the museum
Enjoy a new view of Lisburn with our clock tower tour. The museum’s clock tower has dominated Lisburn’s skyline since the early 19th century, but have you seen the view from one of the town’s oldest structures? This year, enjoy a brief tour of the tower, followed by breath-taking panoramic views of Lisburn.
For ‘Lisburn from Above!’, tours are every half hour, from 10am-12pm and 1-4pm. We can accommodate 6 people per half hour slot. Booking is essential.
Please note that the stairs are steep, and the site is not accessible with a wheelchair. An accessible version of the tour is available in the museum’s Assembly Room.
Collections Tour: Behind the scenes at the Museum
Join curatorial staff and explore treasures from the collection on a guided tour of the museum and its artefact store. This is a rare opportunity to go behind-the-scenes, and delve into the museum’s rich collection of linen damask, local history objects, and precious art.
Collections tours take place from 10am-12pm and 1-4pm. We can accommodate 10 people per hour slot. Booking is essential.
Please note that the artefact store is not accessible with a wheelchair. An accessible version of the tour is available on request.
