Sion Stables is housed in the newly renovated Sion House Stables Block. The property’s tearoom/restaurant, exhibition space, Heritage Education Center, and Craft/Gift Shop are all complementary purposes.
The renovation of Sion Stables in Northern Ireland into a new tourist attraction with modern uses in a historic structure is an example of history colliding with the arts and education. The historic site is used to host creative and educational programmes that highlight the storey of Sion Mills. They tell the storey using a range of multimedia platforms, archival papers, and artefacts, encouraging you to delve deeper into everyday life and discover hidden information nuggets. The one-of-a-kind collection of original materials is fascinating, and it offers a unique educational experience.
The rich history of Sion mills is a tourist favourite, with over 40 listed sites to view. It’s best found and learned from someone who’s been there, which is why Sion Stables’ very own local guides will take you on a tour of life in the mill and hamlet, starting at Sion Stables and sharing a few anecdotes along the way. Their freshly developed App serves as a virtual bridge to the past, transporting you back in time.
