We like to give people authentic experiences @archhfund.org.uk of out of use historic buildings, so lovely to see so many people & supporters turning out at a slightly chilly Riddel's Warehouse in Belfast last night for the launch of our 50th exhibition. It looks spot on & is here until 18th Feb!

Celebrations for #AHF50 continue with our next Project of the Week, Gracehill Old School.

Following a fire, this former school was left vacant in 1999. What ensued was a campaign to restore it for the benefit of tourists, visitors & the local community.

#AHF50 Project of the Week 3: Lissan House.

This enchanting country residence is one of Northern Ireland’s most significant historic houses.

After being gifted to a newly formed trust in 2006 & undergoing restoration, today it is an entirely volunteer-run attraction.
