Join us for a day of community spirit and cultural celebration as we come together to weave a traditional willow fence in the heart of our Town and County

Heritage Connection
Willow weaving is more than a practical craft; it is a tangible link to our past. In Ireland, the use of willow for fencing, basketry, and other utilitarian items dates back centuries.
