BALLYMENA — THE CITY OF SEVEN TOWERS, LIAM NEESON’S HOMETOWN, SLEMISH AND SAINT PATRICK: Ballymena is County Antrim’s market town, known as the ‘City of the Seven Towers’ — a nickname coined during its 19th-century industrial growth. Liam Neeson — one of the world’s most recognised film actors — was born in Ballymena in June 1952. Saint Patrick is believed to have tended sheep on Slemish Mountain near Broughshane, 5 miles from Ballymena. Ballymena Jumma Masjid at Unit 19, Ballykeel Business Centre, 18 Crebilly Road (BT42 4DN) serves the town’s Muslim community. Belfast International Airport is 28 miles south via M2. No Umrah operator has dedicated a page to Ballymena. This is the first.

Ballymena (from the Irish An Baile Meánach — ‘the middle townland’) is a market town in County Antrim, Northern Ireland — the seventh-largest town in Northern Ireland by population, with 31,205 residents at the 2021 census. Situated on the Braid River in the heart of County Antrim, approximately 28 miles (45 km) northwest of Belfast and approximately 40 miles (64 km) east of Derry/Londonderry, Ballymena occupies a central position in the county — midway, as one guide notes, between Belfast and Derry. The town is part of the Borough of Mid and East Antrim and serves as the commercial centre for a wide rural hinterland stretching from the Glens of Antrim to the Antrim Plateau.

Ballymena’s most distinctive nickname — the ‘City of the Seven Towers’ — dates from the Victorian era. During the town’s 19th-century industrial growth (driven largely by the linen industry), seven prominent towers came to define the town’s skyline: Ballymena Castle, First Ballymena Presbyterian Church, the Old Parish Church, the Braid Water Mill, St Patrick’s Church, the Old Town Hall, and All Saints Catholic Church. The concept of ‘Ballymenagh of the Seven Towers’ was popularised by Sir Robert Alexander Shafto Adair (later Lord Waveney) — the then-owner of the Ballymena estate — to celebrate the town’s growing civic importance. Of the original seven towers, three survive today: All Saints, St Patrick’s Church, and the Old Parish Church.

Ballymena Jumma Masjid at Unit 19, Ballykeel Business Centre, 18 Crebilly Road, Ballymena BT42 4DN is the town’s mosque, serving the Muslim community of Ballymena and the surrounding Mid and East Antrim area. The mosque provides daily prayers and Friday Jumu’ah, with facilities for wudu, parking, wheelchair-accessible prayer hall, and spaces for women. The Ballymena Islamic Cultural Centre (also registered at the same address, contact: Mr Ehab Ibrahim) supports the mosque’s community and educational activities.

No Umrah operator has dedicated a page to Ballymena. The City of Seven Towers — where Liam Neeson grew up, where Saint Patrick is believed to have kept sheep on Slemish, where the linen industry built Victorian Ulster — has been invisible to the Umrah market. This is the first dedicated Ballymena Umrah page.

The City of the Seven Towers — Ballymena’s Victorian Heritage

The seven towers that gave Ballymena its enduring nickname arose during the town’s remarkable 19th-century transformation from a modest plantation settlement into a significant Ulster market and industrial town. The Adair family — who had held the Ballymena estate since 1626, when King Charles I granted the land to the family with rights to hold two annual fairs and a Saturday market — presided over this transformation. The railway arrived in Ballymena in 1848, connecting the town to Belfast and accelerating its commercial growth. The linen industry — the Ulster linen trade that had made the Upper Bann and Braid valleys some of the most industrially active landscapes in Ireland — drove population growth and construction.

Victorian Ballymena accumulated its towers: churches, mills, public buildings — the visible infrastructure of a confident and growing market town. Sir Robert Alexander Shafto Adair, inspired by Victorian romanticism, coined the phrase ‘Ballymenagh of the Seven Towers’ to celebrate the town’s new civic pride. The seven towers were: Ballymena Castle (since demolished), First Ballymena Presbyterian Church, the Old Parish Church, the Braid Water Mill, St Patrick’s Church, the Old Town Hall, and All Saints Catholic Church. Of these, three survive — All Saints, St Patrick’s, and the Old Parish Church — while the name ‘City of the Seven Towers’ has outlasted most of the towers themselves.

Today, Ballymena’s heritage is preserved and celebrated through The Braid — a museum and arts centre at 1–29 Bridge Street, housed on the historic Town Hall site — which tells the story of Mid-Antrim from prehistory to the present. The Seven Towers Leisure Centre continues the name. Walking tours of the town take visitors past the surviving towers and explain the Victorian ambition that created them. Ballymena is, in heritage terms, a town that has never forgotten what it once aspired to be.

Seven Towers and the minaret: the seven towers of Ballymena’s Victorian skyline were expressions of institutional confidence — church towers, mill towers, civic towers, each claiming space in the skyline. The minaret of a mosque claims the same kind of vertical presence — a visible declaration of community identity, a call to prayer that pierces the horizontal of the built environment. The Ballymena Muslim community worships in a business centre unit on Crebilly Road, without a minaret. The aspiration toward the Ka’ba — the most ancient tower-like structure in the Islamic world, the cube toward which every Muslim prayer is oriented — is the Ballymena Muslim community’s Seven Towers moment: the reaching upward, the claiming of sacred vertical space.

Liam Neeson — Born Ballymena June 1952

Liam Neeson — born William John Neeson in Ballymena in June 1952 — is one of the most recognisable film actors in the world. He grew up in Ballymena, attending St Patrick’s and Slemish College before studying physics at Queen’s University Belfast and later training at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast. He left Northern Ireland for the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, then moved to London and Hollywood, where his career in film — from Michael Collins to Schindler’s List to the Taken franchise to numerous other productions — has made him a global celebrity.

Ballymena has an ambivalent relationship with its most famous son. Neeson is internationally associated with Ballymena — interviews regularly feature his distinctive County Antrim accent and his recollections of growing up in the town. He has spoken publicly about his experiences during the Troubles in Ballymena, about the religious divisions of the town, and about the journey from Ballymena to Hollywood. The town’s pride in Neeson is real, even if the pride is complicated by the recognition that the journey from Ballymena to global celebrity required leaving Ballymena behind.

For the Ballymena Muslim community — whose own story involves journeys from Pakistan or Bangladesh or elsewhere to a County Antrim market town — there is something recognisable in Neeson’s narrative arc: the journey from a specific, particular, sometimes constraining place, toward a wider world. The Umrah pilgrimage from Ballymena to Makkah is its own version of that journey — from the specific and local to the universal and sacred.

Saint Patrick and Slemish Mountain — 5 Miles from Ballymena

Slemish Mountain — a distinctive volcanic plug rising approximately 437 metres above sea level, situated approximately 5 miles east of Ballymena near the village of Broughshane — is believed to be the place where Saint Patrick tended sheep as a slave in the early 5th century, before his escape and subsequent return to Ireland as a missionary. The story of Patrick’s time on Slemish is one of the foundational narratives of Irish Christianity — the young Briton (born in Roman Britain, possibly in what is now southwest Scotland or northwest England) brought to Ireland as a slave, spending years tending sheep on an Irish hillside, finding faith in that isolation, escaping, and returning to convert the Irish to Christianity.

Every year on Saint Patrick’s Day (17 March), thousands of pilgrims climb Slemish Mountain — on the hillside where Patrick is believed to have prayed and tended his flock. The climb is an act of remembrance and faith, a physical journey that honours a spiritual story. It is, in its small way, a form of pilgrimage — the body’s movement through a meaningful landscape as an expression of spiritual connection. The Ballymena Muslim community undertaking Umrah makes a much greater physical journey than the climb to Slemish — but the impulse is recognisably the same. The body travels to honour the sacred.

Ballymena to Belfast International Airport — M2 South, 28 Miles, Saudi Airlines Direct

Belfast International Airport (BFS) is approximately 28–30 miles south of Ballymena town centre via the M2 motorway — the most direct and fast route from County Antrim’s market town to Northern Ireland’s primary Umrah airport. From central Ballymena or from the Ballykeel Business Centre on Crebilly Road, the route runs south on the A26 toward Antrim, joining the M2 motorway south of Antrim town, then continuing on the M2 west to Belfast International Airport. The route is a mix of A-road (A26 from Ballymena to M2) and motorway (M2 to airport) — fast and clear at pre-dawn. Ballymena also has a direct railway connection to Antrim station, where the Belfast to Londonderry rail line serves the airport road.

Book Your Ballymena Umrah — From the City of Seven Towers to the House of Allah

Saint Patrick tended sheep on Slemish Mountain — 5 miles from Ballymena — before he escaped slavery and returned to Ireland to preach. The climb to Slemish is an annual act of pilgrimage: thousands of people making a physical journey through a specific landscape to honour a spiritual story. The impulse is universal. The body moves through the world to reach what is most sacred. It has always been this way.

The Muslim community of Ballykeel Business Centre makes a much greater physical journey — but the impulse is the same. Leave Ballykeel at 4:00am. The City of Seven Towers is dark. Three of those towers survive. The A26 runs south through the Antrim countryside, past Ahoghill and toward Antrim town, the M2 picking up the journey westward, Belfast International Airport at 4:28am. Saudi Airlines direct. Six hours thirty minutes. Jeddah. Makkah. The Ka’ba — the oldest act of Ibrahim’s architecture still standing, still circled, still the centre of the world’s prayers.

From £645/pp all-inclusive. £99 deposit. Named hotel before deposit. ATOL Certificate at booking. Same-day quotes for Ballymena, Antrim, Ballymoney, Broughshane, Cullybackey, Ahoghill, Randalstown, and all Mid and East Antrim.
