Stained Glass Window Lantern Painting

Join us for a weekend celebrating the rich Victorian heritage of East Belfast through creativity, craft, and culture.

Inspired by the legacy of St Mark’s and the surrounding area — including nearby Craigavon House and Belmont Park — these events blend history, art, and hands-on experiences for all ages.

Discover the stunning stained glass windows of St Mark’s — a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture — and take inspiration from these intricate designs to paint your own stained-glass style lantern, combining creativity with historical storytelling.

Shared Roots is part of the From Multiculturalism to Interculturalism led by ArtsEkta, Kabosh and Cairde na Cille under the Belfast Local Community Action Plan, supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body.
