Family Fun Day

A family fun day will be held in Suífinn Centre and Gardens on Saturday 22nd September from 2.00pm – 5.00pm with art exhibition, felting, our collaboration with the National School “hands across the generations”, commemorative Dr. Crowley Exhibition, kid's games, food stalls and music by local musicians. We would love if you could pop in and join us on the day.

Local Folklore

For those interested in local folklore and that perhaps aren't aware, there was a collection of local stories, local traditions, folk medicine, pastimes etc compiled in most National Schools in the country in 1938.

This involved the children in the schools interviewing the oldest person they knew.

The work is being transcribed and digitised at the moment (so that you can search and filter etc., largely done for some schools, barely started for others) but the original copies from all schools have been photocopied and can be viewed online. Much easier to do it in a larger screen.

 

All schools in Ballycastle at the time are available to be viewed. There are thousands of pages of material – from magpie soup for a cure for whooping cough to putting a lump of iron in the poteen ‘wash' so the fairies would'nt drink it to ‘kidnapping' girls for marriage!
