The Wicker Man

The Wicker Man
Showcasing and selling the work of over 150 Irish artists and craftspeople, this treasure trove of a shop is an absolute must for all you quality-conscious souvenir hunters. Perfumes, marble, pewter and pottery sit alongside paintings, jewellery and many other smaller items - with all price ranges covered. Each month a different artist's work is featured in the small gallery space and window display, and the bodhrans (Irish drums - pronounced borons) suspended from the ceiling make quite the feature.

The shop itself comes with an interesting pedigree; it was once the site of the Ulster Overcoat Company, manufacturers of the heavy caped coat made famous by Sherlock Holmes. The original building was destroyed during the Belfast Blitz and, following WW2, the resulting wasteland was used to display one of Hitler's touring armoured Mercedes. Engage in convivial chat with owners Peter and Laurence about these stories... and the legend of the Wicker Man from which the shop gets its name.
