It was a busy day outside Ballycastle Museum at the Oul' Lammas Fair yesterday, supported by the Friends of Ballycastle Museum.

We were giving out free books and booklets exploring the town's history, and chatting about the exciting developments underway with our project to restore, expand and refurbish the museum with the support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund Northern Ireland.

If your down for the Fair today, why not drop in and say hello?
