Visual Art Trail: The Yarn Garden

Join us in the beautiful outdoor classroom for a riot of colour, creativity and community spirit! Help transform the railings with weaving, crochet, and wrapping using wool and reclaimed fabrics as we create a vibrant guerrilla yarn installation bursting with texture and imagination.

Whether you’re a seasoned stitcher or a complete beginner, everyone is welcome to add their own splash of colour, and don’t miss the spectacular child-sized yarn-bombed bed at the heart of the display!

This event is part of Birr Vintage Week and Arts Festival which runs from 31 July – 7 August. This is an annual community arts festival in Birr, Co. Offaly featuring professional, national and international artists bringing visual arts, theatre, music, street theatre, pop up performers, workshops, exhibitions and lots more, together with a variety of community events.
