r/Belfast

​

I started researching the culture and history because I was writing a book.

I soon realized that I was drawn to the culture since I was young, not realizing it until recently.

I'm looking for a genuine friendship with shared interests or hobbies that you are passionate about and willing to teach me! On top of similar ish work schedules, as I may work a lot but be willing to try to work around that if you are.

A couple of young guys walked with, and helped me find my way in Belfast today (April 6 2026) after our train from Derry/Londonderry was terminated a few stops early. I’d really like to reach out to thank them again and buy them a drink when I come back, I thought we hit it off well. I only know their first names and what they do for work. Ages are 25-ish and 30-ish. Not even sure if this is the place to ask or not. I also don’t want to plaster too much about them on the internet without their consent. Names are Glenn and Joshua. How would I go about tracking them down? Thanks for any help!

*Edit - Added their first names since they’re common enough names.

Recently moved to Belfast and looking an aesthetics professional.

They all appear super annoying and full of themselves on instagram, coming from London some of their prices are absolutely scandalous.. Is this just me?

Any advice on a good one, please only advise if you used them.

Cheers 👋🏻

Moving to Belfast soon and keen to get into golf properly. I am a beginner but have some clubs, so ideally looking for a decent intro course or a few lessons to get started.

Also trying to find somewhere affordable where I can practice regularly any cheaper clubs I could join, or Nine hole courses?

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Got a new job was either going to use park and ride or Corporation Street car park or else the one just before the Westlink.

does anyone know if the park and ride just before the Westlink goes past North Street also does anyone know how much it is and what time the last one goes back to the car park and where you would get back out to it from the town.

I need a spare remote key made for my car. Any recommendations for any one / company Belfast / Newtownabbey direction or close by that aren’t super pricey?

Me and the mrs are going away for a few nights and need our wee 1 year old cavapoo minded. A big thing for her would be no kennels, she hates the thought of him staying in a kennel.

Could anyone recommend a place where the dogs are sleep and rest indoors for a decent price?

I moved up to east Belfast from coleraine, most of my mates live further in the city so I can’t really gym with them. I’m looking someone who goes 4-5 times per week between 4-7pm and is keen to push themselves as well.

Give me a shout if you’re interested in keeping yourself accountable and having a regular spotter etc
