We were delighted to host representatives from our funders The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), to Fermanagh to visit some of our ongoing projects.
Keepers of Tradition
Having enjoyed the picturesque location of Crom Castle the team made their way to visit the Mummers Foundation. This project aims to revive the tradition of Mumming within the younger generation in the Lower and Upper Lough Erne communities that were historically known for their Mumming.
The Mummers Foundation will teach young participants about the folklore associated with Mumming and develop essential skills required to perform Mumming. These heritage skills will include, straw craft, mask making, music, song, and dance performances. It will see the revival of old rhyming and the integration of new rhymes and verses in their performances.
