George Best, arguably the greatest- ever footballer, thrilled the world with his wonderful football skills. George was born and bred in east Belfast and after his move to Manchester United, and elsewhere across the world, he always returned to his home at 16 Burren Way, Cregagh.
During these special tours actors, Stephen Beggs and Neil Heaney, will play George at various times of his life, all within the unique venue of George’s 1960s retro-refurbed childhood home.
Step inside the family home of footballing superstar George Best, as it would’ve been in the summer of 1961 when a fifteen-year-old George left to follow his dreams in Manchester. Enjoy flicking through old school reports with an experienced local guide to discover more about Best's early life in east Belfast’s Cregagh Estate. Early booking highly recommended as places are limited.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Living Wage Awareness Event at East Belfast Network Centre on 22nd September.
