About
Join us at Leid AND Lairn, as we celebrate Ulster-Scots language, heritage, music and storytelling through a series of events taking place across the Borough and at the Ulster Folk Museum.
Running throughout Autumn 2026, the programme offers opportunities for residents and visitors to explore Ulster-Scots culture through talks, guided tours, music, dance, language workshops and unique heritage experiences.
Highlights include a performance by acclaimed Northern Ireland trio TRÚ at Donaghadee Parish Church's as part of its 400th anniversary celebrations, a lively Ulster-Scots Ceilidh Tea Dance in Newtownards, an introduction to the Ulster-Scots language with Dr Dayna Jost and heritage talks exploring the histories of Ballywalter Presbyterian Church and Donaghadee Parish Church.
The Ulster Folk Museum will also host a series of events as part of the programme. These include Discover Ulster-Scots Music Traditions, The Story and Craft of Kilts, Whiskey and Words, and Rhymin Rab's Ramble, a self-guided tour exploring the Ulster-Scots language through the words of Robert Huddleston.
