Christmas Evenings at the Ulster Folk Museum

Wander the cobbled streets and enjoy authentic exhibit buildings adorned with homemade wreaths and dressed with decorations as they would have been years ago. Taste traditional Christmas cake as you meet their talented craft demonstrators, from willow weaving and wool weaving to blacksmithing and printing! Sing Christmas carols with Fortwilliam Musical Society and enjoy the sounds of a harpist and Comber Brass Brand.

Visit the donkeys at the Marketplace and make some old Christmas decorations to take home at their festive craft station, fun for all ages. Pick up Christmas gifts from the shop and don't forget to post your letter to Santa in their old post box. Stop by McCusker's pub and listen to a Christmas story as you enjoy a mulled wine, hot toddy or spiced cider (please drink responsibly).

There might even be snow!
