Christmas Evenings
An enchanting Christmas evening at the Ulster Folk Museum
Book TicketsEnjoy Christmas the traditional way at the Ulster Folk Museum
Book Christmas TicketsSee the Folk Museum decorated for the festive season, from the grandeur of the Rectory to the simplicity of the Tea Lane houses. Meet our craft demonstrators as they prepare for seasonal celebrations and take in the festive scents of cinnamon toast warming on the open fire. Settle in for a festive story and listen out for carol singers, plus festive sounds from a brass band and harpist. Post your letter to Santa at our Post Office, and make sure to say hello to the donkeys at the Marketplace.
Warm up with a festive drink in the cosy surroundings of McCusker's pub, now fully licensed (whilst being responsible) - spiced cider, mulled wine or hot toddy. Make something to bring home in our Christmas-themed craft stations, treat yourself in our traditional sweet shop and discover the traditions of Christmas past with us this Christmas.
