Thursday 28 September 10.00am – 4.00pm

The latest event organised by the Lurgan Townscape will be a workshop on the ancient skill of hedge laying. While much of our work is focused on Lurgan Town Centre. Much of the linen manufacture was located in the farms in the rural hinterland. The small patchwork of fields were marked with native hedges. These hedges have been in place for over 200 years but they need to be cared for and rejuvenated every 40 years to provide the best habitat for wildlife and a stock proof barrier for cattle.
