Our heritage farmer Robert has given us a demonstration on how to make flour. This contraption is called a quern, the grain goes into a hole in the middle and is ground between the two stones. Through this process, grain is turned into flour. It was a process that would take a long time and the development of some intense arm muscles! It was also the norm for many people in Ulster’s past, as Robert told us – it was a process that made you appreciate every bite of the bread you had grown from seed. You can see the use of a quern in action as photographed by W. A.

🐇 Today is Lughnasa, the traditional start of autumn and the harvest season across Ireland.

The crops were not yet ready to gather, giving time to mourn the end of summer and mark the start of the new season with games, fairs, and feasts.

Today is Beltane, the traditional start of summer across Ireland. It was a time of hope for the year and harvest ahead. With Ireland’s long pastoral history, cows featured heavily in protective rituals, and yellow flowers – likely mimicking the sun – were used to decorate home and stead.

🥔 Time for planting potatoes!

Here you can see the traditional way to set potatoes in a lazy bed. Traditionally these would have been used in areas with poor quality soil and more adaptable for smaller areas of land.

The lazy bed is made with a loy spade, turning sods over to the soil side ready for planting. A steeveen is then used to create a hole to set the seed potato into, and to cover the hole over. These potatoes are from the shoots that sprout from the ‘eyes’ of seed potatoes.

There are many ways to plant potatoes and we’ll be showing you different methods, following the process through to harvesting and plate.

Stay tuned to see how they’ve grown!

🥞 It’s Shrove Tuesday, time to clear away the larder before Lent and enjoy some pancakes!

For Christians who celebrate Lent, Shrove Tuesday is traditionally a time to eat the rich, sweet foods that they will not consume over the next 40 days. This tradition has evolved into Pancake Tuesday – a day we can all appreciate!

Spring has sprung 🌱

Today marks Imbolc, the traditional start of spring across Ireland. Such ‘quarter festivals’ as Imbolc, Beltane, Samhain, and Lughnasadh mark the changing seasons and set the calendar by the land and the harvest.

‘Up in the morning’s no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a’ the hills are cover’d wi’ snaw,
I’m sure its winter fairly.’

We’ve all felt the urge to ‘coorie in’ when we wake up and it’s cold outside ❄

Today we celebrate Scotland's National poet, Robert Burns. Burns takes inspiration from the land, love, and country living, making him a favourite poet of many who lived a rural life.

Join us in celebrating and preserving everyday skills, customs and traditions that were passed down over many generations in Ulster.

The Ulster Folk Museum puts the past in dialogue with the present in order to inspire and shape our future. Discover how reconnecting with the past can help us grow and thrive in the world today.
