Midtown Makers Studio and Shop

About

From its transformation in 2016, Midtown Makers Studio and Shop, has become one of Northern Ireland's foremost handmade craft and gift shops, located on Church Street, Ballymena.

Midtown Makers offer a creative gift idea for everyone with incredible products from its collective of over 70 individual artists and craft makers selling unique and often bespoke products. We are home to people whose talents grow into something special and also home of Bertie and Bella, the Ballymena Bears.

We retail a range of gifts for all occasions with a large range of hand-made gifts such as goat's soap, jams and chutneys, decoupage, crocheted, embroidered and knitted items, memory bears, cushions, hand felted gifts, melts and candles.

We also have sandblasted slate gifts with a Celtic theme, as well as Irish themed wall hangings, bowls, ceramics, clay and pottery, handmade jewellery and beads plus native birds & animals made from wire, pebble art, glass work and ironwork.

We have a fantastic range of acrylic and watercolour pictures plus photographs, both framed and mounted, which highlight areas used in Game of Thrones®, local scenery and our coastline. There is also a collection of hand-made cards showing local scenes and people from Northern Ireland.

We offer an order and collect system, where customers can order bespoke gifts and collect them in store.

A range of craft workshops and events also regularly take place.
