Donegal Craft Village

Donegal Craft Village at Lurganboy, County Donegal, brings together working craft studios in one cluster just outside Donegal Town. Makers here produce work in a range of disciplines, and visitors can browse, buy and often watch pieces being made.

The site also has somewhere to eat and drink, which makes it an easy hour or two rather than a quick stop. It’s a good place to find locally made gifts and to talk directly to the people who made them. Individual studios keep their own hours and some close seasonally, so it’s worth checking ahead if there is a particular maker you want to see.
