The Ulster Folk Museum are passionate about preserving and nurturing Northern Ireland’s unique heritage skills, customs and traditions. This August they’ll be celebrating the Folk Museum Making Festival in association with the Construction Industry Training Board NI (CITB NI), a two-day event honouring traditional crafts & heritage skills!

Over the weekend they’ll be showcasing a wide range of Ireland’s unique building traditions such as thatching, stone masonry, limewashing and drystone walling. There’ll also be talented makers sharing their crafts including signwriting, stained glass, and straw rope making; and their fantastic team of in-house craft demonstrators will be working in blacksmithing, willow, textiles, wood and more!

National Museums NI are looking for volunteers who can support them in the craft/activity area (particularly focusing on craft activities for families) and orientation around the Ulster Folk Museum site directing visitors to the programmes and activities.
