About

Explore the world of textiles and sustainability this autumn at the Textile Takeover.

Try embroidery, watch weaving and rag work demonstrations and see a showcase of works by the Belfast School of Art Textile Students. Listen to talks from Rathlin Wool Project, Mallon Linen and Fibreshed Ireland, and learn about patchworking from the Northern Ireland Patchwork Guild.

You'll have the opportunity to shop vintage, learn repair skills, see demos, and attend talks, all in the unique setting of the Ulster Folk Museum.

Bring your damaged garments along to the museum and get one-on-one guidance from the experts at Bangor Repair Café.
