The Irvine Valley Lace Festival

A vibrant celebration of the area's world-famous lace heritage. Discover the incredible journey from Joseph Hood’s first looms in 1838, to Alexander Morton’s revolutionary power loom in 1876, and the talented local weavers who helped spread both lace (and football) across Sweden and Spain.

Expect live demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and stories that bring the rich history to life. Don’t miss this chance to be part of a tradition that has shaped a community and inspired the world. Mark your calendars! 🧵
