If you walk along the River Lagan in Belfast, you’ll come across the Beacon of Hope, an impressive 19.5-metre-high metal sculpture! Installed on the city’s quayside, it is a true symbol for the city, representing hope and universal peace… A message that echoes the Northern Irish conflict!

The Beacon of Hope is signed by artist Andy Scott. Its creation and installation made it one of the most expensive works in Belfast: no less than £300,000!
The sculpture was crafted in stainless steel and bronze, and took the artist over 6 years to complete!
If you come across it, you’ll see that this sculpture depicts a woman standing on the World, holding a ring at arm’s length. According to the sculptor, this ring symbolizes a “ring of thanksgiving”, and the world beneath its feet “the universal philosophy of peace”.
A lovely message, making it one of the most emblematic sculptures in Belfast’s history!
