Tell us what you think about the future of Wilmont House! Fill in the survey below.

GTG has secured funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for a feasibility study of restoring Wilmont House in Sir Thomas & Lady Dixon Park. The study is in partnership with Belfast City Council, who own the building.

We believe that Wilmont House may offer an opportunity to create a unique cultural venue and interactive experience for Belfast residents and visitors that could include sculpture trails, art activities, exhibitions and reading rooms.

But we want to make sure future plans for Wilmont House directly involve the communities and people who will use it.

So, we’re working with we will thrive to talk to residents, communities, stakeholders and local businesses.
