Ardara is a picturesque, vibrant little town that has made a living from tweed for centuries. If you’re into cultural activities, don’t miss the Ardara Heritage Centre, a sort of museum dedicated to the production of Irish tweed. In a comprehensive exhibition, you’ll discover the art of tweed weaving, its traditional manufacturing methods, and the economic impact of this activity on Ardara!
Ardara is often referred to as the tweed capital of Ireland. And LE Adare Heritage Centre will give you a complete overview of the art and craft of this precious textile. The program includes exhibitions, vintage farm machinery and weaving looms to give you a better understanding of how tweed was made.
Unfortunately, non-English speakers may find it difficult to understand: none of the material is multilingual, and the subject is aimed more at adults than children…
The museum also has a Coffee Shop, where you can relax with a coffee and a pastry. The food is good, and the welcome quite friendly.
