General Information
Classes will normally be held in Cultra Manor, the Museum's Education Centre. Cars can be parked at this building. The Museum is served by Ulsterbus (Route 1 Belfast-Bangor). Bus stops are about a ten-minute walk from Cultra Manor. For courses which run during normal Museum opening hours, Northern Ireland Railways' service to Cultra Station (Belfast-Bangor line) is also available.
If the main entrance to the Folk Museum side is closed, please use the second entrance - the green gate at the bottom of the hill.
If a course is fully booked, applicants will be so advised and their names placed on a waiting list. Where possible, they will be offered vacancies that arise or a place on an alternative date. If you need to cancel, please give notice of seven working days in order that we can make a full refund. Early booking is essential as we require a minimum of 4 people to run a workshop. If we do not reach this number the Course may be cancelled. Places should be booked at least 2 weeks before start of course.
All classes and workshops are suitable for beginners and those with some experience except where otherwise stated. We will try, where possible, to have items from the Museum collections which will hopefully spark off ideas and designs. Kits and some materials can be purchased from tutors when necessary. Where specific materials are required, a list will be forwarded, otherwise please bring a basic sewing kit of scissors, needle, thread and some fabric.
