Rosie Hickey

  • Heritage Officer

Rosie Hickey has worked as Heritage Officer of the Strand Arts Centre since 2020. She manages the ‘Strand Stories’ project which is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. In this role she combines two of her interests: exploring the nooks and crannies of historic buildings and collecting memories of Belfast’s past.

Rosie graduated with an MA (Hons) in Architectural History from the University of Edinburgh in 2010 and received a PhD in Architecture from Queen’s University Belfast in 2017. And since 2020 she has been a member of the Historic Buildings Council.

Rosie has a wealth of experience in developing and delivering a range of heritage projects – including exhibitions and oral history projects – for various charities and organisations across Northern Ireland.

Amongst her favourite films (it’s too hard to pin down a definitive list!) are: ‘The Third Man’, ‘All the President’s Men’, ‘In the Mood for Love’ and ‘Le Bal’.
