The Craft Village, Donegal Town 

The Craft Village, located at Ballyshannon Road, Lurganboy, Donegal Town was built approximately 30 years ago.   Donegal County Council acquired this building in 2010 as part of an initiative between IDA Ireland and the Council.

The Craft Village building complex consists of nine units accommodating various arts and crafts related businesses, i.e., sculptor, jewellery, pottery studios and a coffee shop.   The units are laid out as a cluster in the Courtyard footprint with open cloisters providing sheltered access to the individual units off the central courtyard space.

Refurbishment works have been carried out at the Donegal Craft Village over the last number of years, i.e., replacement of asbestos roof with a new insulated metal panel roof; refurbishment of units 2, 3 ,4 & 9 together with replacement of all windows with double glazed units.   These refurbishment works have resulted in a more attractive business location and all nine units are currently occupied.  

It is proposed to continue upgrading facilities by providing a number of additional units together with the provision of public conveniences, increased car parking spaces and improved road access.
