About Us
Navigation House is a social enterprise operated by Stepping Stones NI. Built in 1866, Navigation House is the former residence of the manager of the Lagan Canal with the house remaining in that use until the last superintendent of the canal left in 1954.
Stepping Stones NI acquired the lease to the site in 2021 to develop a horticulture and well-being hub for people with learning disabilities and barriers to learning and employment. The historic site boasts a tranquil and unique setting and has been tastefully renovated to offer a versatile event and meeting space.
Our garden shop and workshops are open to the public with access to the
Lagan Canal and coffee dock coming soon.
We are no ordinary space
