About
Refresh the connection at Ulster Folk Museum, a place where traditions and heritage skills are preserved and celebrated to help connect our past to our present. There are many ways to reconnect with heritage and the environment at the museum through the themes of making, growing and living. From seasonal events and hand-picked programmes, to discovering the folk collection and stories from rural Ulster past.
Experience daily craft demonstrations from blacksmithing to basket weaving* and wander the winding country lanes taking in the views and wildlife. To make the most of you visit we recommend you take 2 to 3 hours to explore all the Ulster Folk Museum has to offer.
