Well we are gearing up for a busy week next week for the 60th Anniversary of the Ballina Salmon Festival - Mayo. All week we have the fantastic Pandora’s Box workshops run by our good friends at the Ballina Costume Company including a traditional Woolcraft Workshop on Heritage Day supported by Killala Woolcraft and FOXFORD. The very special Uilleann Pipes belonging to Eamonn Ceannt are making a welcome return to the collection. There will be old world school games all week on Walsh Street and music in the garden by The Core Mayo and a junior disco on Friday 12th. On Heritage Day we have the Mount Falcon Estate Birds of Prey at 12pm, two special Military vehicles visiting us from the Óglaigh na hÉireann / Irish Defence Forces. We also have two amazing Irish artists running workshops on the day, celebrating our great language, traditions and folklore, the great Eddie Lenihan and Irish With Mollie. So make sure you come in and see us here at the Jackie Clarke Collection during the Ballina Salmon Festival / Heritage Day 2024, we look forward to welcoming you all!
