Micheal added: “You will see our unique skills at first hand as we craft hurleys, turn wooden bowls and other handmade gifts.

“The day will finish with a bang as the Antrim Senior hurling semi final featuring Dunloy and Ballycastle takes place on the neighbouring Loughgiel pitch at 5pm.

“Our demo slots are limited so booking is essential.” Please contact Micheal Scullion at 07736648115 to book your slot.

There will be entertainment with something for all the family including target shooting with old school hurls and the chance to try out the exact replica of Liam Watson’s All Ireland winning hurl. Demonstrations of traditional hurl making are at set times of 11:30, 1:30 and 3:30.
