Enjoy Easter at the Ulster Folk Museum with traditional games, crafts, music and lots of family fun. 

Spring is in the air and we're getting ready to celebrate a traditional Easter! Discover Easter traditions, have a go at nature based activities and meet our talented makers as they demonstrate heritage skills - including Easter card making in our Print Shop. 

Get involved with traditional games, watch baking and butter making demos, try tasty cake samples and listen to traditional music. Meet costumed characters and learn all about the history of egg production in Ireland and the connections to the Easter traditions we know today!

Visiting on Easter Monday? Take part in the timeless tradition of egg rolling, do the cake dance and see performances by a pipe band.
