Richmond Barracks.
Richmond Barracks stands as a testament to the rich cultural and historical heritage of Dublin. Once a military barracks, it has evolved to become a vibrant center of community and cultural activities, deeply rooted in the history of the city.
This year Dublin Fibre Festival hosts its first edition at Richmond Barracks, celebrating the intersection of past and present. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the unique blend of historical significance and contemporary creativity.
The event showcases the impact of Richmond Barracks as a custodian of history and a catalyst for cultural expression. We hope this festival could offer a glimpse into the lives of those who served at the barracks, as well as the inspiring artistic contributions of our modern artists and artisans.
From traditional crafts to innovative fibre art, this event encapsulates the essence of the Dublin Fibre Festival — honoring tradition while embracing innovation. It serves as a reminder that the threads of history continue to weave themselves into the vibrant tapestry of Dublin's cultural identity.
Join us at Richmond Barracks for a celebration that weaves together the past and present, uniting cultural and historical heritage in a truly unforgettable experience.
