19 to 22 March 2015
Kenmare Biennial Lace Festival had its
origins in ‘The Gathering Ireland 2013’, a series of events, festivals
and gatherings of all kinds welcoming people to Ireland during 2013.
From 19 to 22 March 2015 we will
again celebrate the wonderful heritage of lacemaking and design
established by the Poor Clare nuns in post famine Kenmare in the 1860s.
There is a full festival programme with
lacemaking workshops in nine different disciplines running over two
days. For the fashion conscious there will be a fashion show, a
fashion-able competition and 'meet the designers' at the Art &
Design Cloister. Exhibitions will showcase the very best in lacemaking
and Irish design. There will be a full day of lacemaking workshops
including Kenmare Lacemaking for both beginners and experienced
lacemakers.
All our events are aimed at encouraging
people to uphold tradition, good design and culture. To discover what is
taking place during the festival go to the programme page.
