About
Saturday 13 September Heritage double bill: historical tour & ‘Singing Threads’ exhibition.
Tour at 14:00. Exhibition open 11:00-17:00.
Join us for this heritage double bill! History author and guide John Bradbury will lead a tour of our listed building. Now housing R-Space, the property has seen much change over more than three hundred years: embracing social and political history that has affected Lisburn profoundly. Find out who lived here and their connections to the city and events that shaped its history. If the weather is kind, there'll be the option of a walk around Lisburn.
Visit our exhibition ‘Singing Threads: Songs and Stories of Ulster’s Mill Life’ featuring textile artist and musician Eimear Magee. This show presents a new iteration of her graduate collection, an innovative body of work that combines contemporary textile art, traditional music and storytelling to honour the resilience of mill workers, transforming their lived experiences into rich, emotive art. Through this work, the artist creates a “living archive” that not only revisits and revives tradition, but invites reflection on community strength and cultural continuity.
