About
Midtown Makers: A Celebration of Craft, Creativity & Community
Hosting over 50 Creative Members from across Northern Ireland, Midtown Makers Gift Shop brings creativity to life, a central hub for local residents and a shopping destination for those visiting Ballymena.
Midtown Makers indulge your senses with wax melts infused with fragrance and warmth, a child’s fleece jacket stitched with care, an illustrated book alive with colour, frames with quotes influencing your thoughts. A shopfront window bursting with colours on canvas featuring themes of our lands, history and legacy. Mounted Prints and cards from artists that carry words and images meant to linger in the heart and memory.
From Celtic-inspired slate to Irish-themed ceramics, from handworked glass to carved wood, Midtown Makers is not just a shop — it is a gallery, a meeting place, a celebration of heritage and imagination. Artworks shimmer with acrylics, oils, and watercolours; photographs frame both the majesty of our coastline and the familiar landscapes that once became backdrops for Game of Thrones®. Even the smallest handmade cards capture the beauty of Northern Ireland in miniature.
Midtown Makers is more than a shop. It is Ballymena’s beating heart of creativity — a place where the everyday becomes extraordinary, and where every gift tells a story worth keeping.
A range of craft workshops and events regularly take place, check website for latest.
Visitor Information Hub located in the shop, offering leaflets and information on the local Ballymena area, Mid and East Antrim and the wider Northern Ireland attractions.
