Building Closures Notice

Our exhibits are a collection of traditionally built and replica buildings. Sometimes, we have to close them to the public for ongoing maintenance and repair work, to ensure preventative maintenance and conservation, so they are appropriately cared for. Currently, the following buildings are closed for such work. We're sorry for any disappointment, but hope you understand:

• Throughout March and April 2026, some of our thatched buildings, Cruckaclady Farmhouse and Meenagarragh Cottier’s House, will look a little different as they undergo important repair work.
• Ballydown National School (map location 53, rural 'Field' area) - however, work has started, so it won't be long until we can reopen this building!
• Ballyveaghmore Farm (map location 49, rural 'Hill' area)
• Straid Corn Mill (map location 41, rural 'Wood' area)
• Gorticashel Flax Mill (map location 42, rural 'Wood' area)

If you also want to explore Ulster Transport Museum on the same day, you’ll need to purchase a separate ticket at ulstertransportmuseum.org. The museums now operate as two separate museums, therefore we no longer offer a combined (dual) ticket for Ulster Folk Museum and Ulster Transport Museum.
