Firing Creativity on St. Brigid’s Eve

A year after launching the community arts project "Bringing St. Brigid’s Cloak to Life", we are pleased to announce that the Cloak will become part of Cavan County Museum’s permanent collection.

To mark the return of the Cloak, creative arts facilitators Morag Donald and Bee Smith will be holding arts and poetry workshops to celebrate St. Brigid’s Eve this 31st January 2026.

Morag Donald will lead a needle felting workshop where participants will create a Brigid symbol like ones on the Brigid’s Cloak on display, from 1pm to 3pm in the museum Shared Space.

Writer and poet Bee Smith will lead a Brigid themed poetry workshop and facilitate printing a symbol on fabric for you to hang as a Brat Bríd that evening in the Boat Room from 1pm to 3pm.

Places are limited - please contact the museum on 049 8544070 or aW5mbyB8IGNhdmFubXVzZXVtICEgaWU= to book your place - please indicate at the time of booking if you would prefer the felting or the poetry workshop.
