Glenarm Castle, as inspiring as ever!

🎨We'd like to welcome our spotlight artist, Linzi Conway Art, to our Welcome Centre.
Recently selected as an Aurifil Thread Artisan for 2026, Linzi creates highly textured art by using a diverse range of materials, including traditional Irish linen, tweed, fibres, and preserved flowers from the scene itself.

We have a selection of prints and originals, each scene deeply rooted in the landscapes and coastal rhythms of Ireland. Requiring a profound connection to the place, Linzi has been inspired by Glenarm for some time, and has created some exceptionally special pieces for us.

🕰️Stop by the Welcome Centre on your next visit to view, open 10am-5pm daily.
