Step back in time when you visit the Irish Linen Centre & Lisburn Museum. The Flax to Fabric Exhibition begins in Lisburn's 17th century Market House, where in times gone by cottage weavers brought their cloth to sell. It tells the story of the Irish Linen industry, with skilled demonstrations of hand spinning and handloom weaving and a display of historic linen treasures. The centre, which comprises a café and a shop is open Monday to Saturday between 9am and 5pm all year round.
