This is a FREE event, drop in, no tickets needed.
Step inside The Belfast Bow Company’s Heritage Gallery and immerse yourself in Dromore’s rich linen-making story. This special exhibition brings together a curated collection of rare photographs, vintage tools, and treasured artefacts from the town’s linen past.
Alongside these historic treasures, admire the exquisite embroidery work of Carol Mackay, whose mastery of the craft has been recognised at the Royal Dublin Society and awarded the prestigious Californian Gold Medal. Carol will also showcase her personal collection of antique linen, offering a rare glimpse into the history, beauty, and craftsmanship of the fabric through the ages.
Also featured is the work of Lorna Reid Mullan, whose sustainable approach to linen craftsmanship blends traditional skill with modern ecological values. Her pieces celebrate the beauty of linen while honouring its environmental potential, showing how heritage materials can thrive in a future focused on regeneration and responsible design.
The Belfast Bow Company will also present their own collections of Irish linen bow ties, ties, and accessories, demonstrating how heritage materials and modern design can weave together beautifully.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a textile lover, or simply curious about Dromore’s story, the Linen Heritage Gallery is a chance to step back in time, honour local craftsmanship, and see how the legacy of Irish linen is still alive today.
