About Ulster Folk and Transport Museum
The morning mist often rolls across our 170 acres here at Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, creating an almost magical backdrop for the authentic thatched cottages and historic buildings that dot the landscape. We've spent decades carefully preserving and presenting Northern Ireland's rich heritage across our two distinct sections in Holywood, and we're proud to offer these atmospheric spaces for your meetings and conferences. Our Folk Museum brings early 20th-century life into sharp focus through meticulously reconstructed farms, schools, shops, and homes. Picture your delegates gathering in a restored schoolhouse or conducting breakout sessions in period buildings while our costumed guides demonstrate traditional crafts nearby. The rolling countryside overlooking Belfast Lough provides natural breaks between sessions, where attendees can stroll past grazing farm animals or explore the working environments of bygone eras. The Transport Museum section houses our remarkable collection of vintage steam locomotives, classic cars, and motorcycles. These industrial spaces, including our Titanic exhibition halls, offer dramatic settings for presentations and networking events. The soaring ceilings and historic exhibits create conversation starters that naturally break the ice among attendees. We've equipped our venues with modern amenities while preserving their historic character. Our on-site café serves refreshments throughout your event, and the gift shop offers unique mementos. Multiple picnic areas provide informal gathering spaces, and our facilities accommodate various group sizes and configurations. Our experienced team coordinates educational programs and interactive workshops year-round, bringing this same expertise to corporate gatherings. Whether you're planning strategy sessions in a traditional cottage, hosting presentations among transport history, or combining meetings with cultural activities, we work closely with organizers to match our historic spaces to your specific requirements.
