The Borris Lace Collection

The Borris Lace Tour celebrates National Heritage week with a chance to see some of the world's largest collection of Borris lace.

This Famine industry was brought to Borris by Lady Harriet Kavanagh in an effort to provide an income for the women of Borris. It continued to be supported by the ladies of the Kavanagh family right up until the 1950s when it was eventually discontinued.

Come and hear the full story of the Borris Lace, see some unique pieces from the collection as well as the original patterns, dockets and order books. You will also be able to see the lace being made and maybe even have a go yourself.

This tour will run at 3.00 pm on Sunday 28th of August.
