Thin Places – Reflecting on Belfast’s Alleyways

After a month-long mission, attempting to walk all 202 km of Belfast’s alleyways, 9ft in Common is gathering for the festival of Samhain to share stories, showcase our findings, and unveil the new Belfast Alley Map 2.0! We’ve hidden hagstones, met neighbours, and gathered invaluable insights along the way—and now we want you to join the conversation.

Samhain marks a time of reflection and transformation, when boundaries are thin, and new possibilities emerge. Come along, enjoy some food, and help shape the emergent Manifesto for the Alleys. Everyone’s welcome, especially those who’ve found a hagstone—come share your story!

Location: 2 Royal Avenue, Belfast.
