In early February every year there is a Country Skills Day in the grounds of the Ulster Folk Museum at Cultra. The staff wear period dress, peat fires are lit in the cottages and various skills from basket making to printing are demonstrated. It’s always worth a visit
The main attraction of the day is the Horse Ploughing competition but this year unfortunately the ground was just too wet and the event was cancelled.
