The Tudor Artisan Hub, established in May 2014 by Linda Fahy, is a vibrant and independent collective that brings together over 100 talented artisans from Carrick-on-Suir, the majestic Suir and Lingaun Valley regions and beyond. Located in the historic Ormond Quarters of Carrick-on-Suir, nestled between two award winning Theatres this unique hub serves as a bustling centre for creativity, craftsmanship, and community engagement. It provides a platform for artisans to showcase their work, collaborate on projects, and connect with both locals and visitors who appreciate the rich cultural heritage and artisanal skills of the region.

At the Tudor Artisan Hub, visitors can explore a diverse array of eclectic treasures. Each piece reflects the unique skills and artistic vision of its creator, making the hub a treasure trove of one-of-a-kind items that tell the story of the area’s rich cultural tapestry. The hub also regularly hosts exhibitions, pop-up demonstrations and performing arts events that celebrate and promote the diverse artistic talent of its members, fostering a vibrant and supportive community of makers and creators.
