Background

Lough Neagh Artisans was formed in 2019 and operates as a collective of like-minded creatives who live within 10 miles of Lough Neagh. The group collaborates and inspires people with their foods, crafts, and experiences.

The group believes that there is a strong need for collaboration among Lough Neagh businesses which complement each other and the necessity to make excellent artisan products and services, including hospitality and experiential initiatives which are unique to this part of the world.
