This autumn, step inside the Courthouse Bushmills for a very special exhibition – celebrating the craft and creativity of makers from across the Causeway Coast and Donegal.
On Saturday 22nd November, 11am–3pm, explore a vibrant exhibition featuring nine exceptional makers, each bringing a unique perspective and skill:
Lisa McGill – evocative seascapes capturing the drama and beauty of the Atlantic coast.- Siobhan Gillespie – colourful, joyful paintings inspired by Donegal’s landscapes.
- Moira McHugh – sustainable art transforming everyday materials into striking creations.
- Sandra Smith – family-run screen printing studio celebrating local heritage with hands-on workshops.
- Amy Campbell – minimalist silver jewellery influenced by the North Coast.
- Samantha Toussaint – sculptural work weaving natural materials with folklore and storytelling.
- Patsy – Rathlin sustainable knitwear, decorative items, and community-inspired yarn art.
- Yvonne Moore – bold abstract paintings exploring emotion and the human experience.
- Simon Hogg – handcrafted gins celebrating local botanicals and heritage.
Families are especially welcome, with a Mini Makers section where children of all ages can take part in drop-in creative activities – no booking required, free to attend and in the same room as the makers.
Visitors can also enjoy tea, coffee and delicious treats on the day, available to purchase.
Beyond the exhibition, The Courthouse offers a host of treasures to make it a real day out! Enjoy The Bistro for a meal, The Designerie for Christmas gifts and artisan treats, and explore the Leap Spaces on the middle floor, showcasing even more creatives.
Dating back to 1834, The Courthouse combines history with a contemporary creative hub, making every visit an engaging and inspiring experience.
This family-friendly event promises a day of discovery, inspiration and hands-on fun!
