Absolutely loved this tour, it incorporated many interesting and historic facts about Balbriggan. It was great to practice some weaving and to have fun with the photo experience. The tour guide’s knowledge is amazing, she was so friendly and answered any questions that were had. Seeing the process of how garments are made has made me appreciate the effort that goes into one single jacket/waistcoat. This tour is highly worth a visit.I loved seeing the spinning & weaving and doing the weaving for the first time! Owner & guide excellent!
