Step into the intricate world of Limerick lace guided by Friends of Lace Limerick at this special Culture Night pop-up exhibition. Explore a beautiful collection of antique and contemporary lace pieces, with a particular focus on Limerick lace, alongside examples of Carrickmacross, Borris, Headford and Clones lace traditions.
