Co Antrim,
Social Enterprise of the Year 2022 (Social Enterprise Northern Ireland Awards
2022) Social Enterprise of the Year 2021 (Causeway Coast & Glens) The Designerie
is a shop, creative hub, workshop and community destination, selling handmade
products from Northern Ireland and Ireland. Founded by Enterprise Causeway in
2015, its core purpose is to grow the creative industry and promote creativity
within the community, using it to build relationships and connect people. The
idea for The Designerie was born during Christmas 2014, when Enterprise Causeway
teamed up with local artists and crafters to make Christmas Trees out of
recycled pallets at our industrial estate. We set up a workshop in one of our
units at Enterprise Causeway and opened a pop up shop in The Diamond Centre in
Coleraine. Now a gorgeous destination in Bushmills - we supports over 80
creatives on the beautiful North Coast. The heart of The Designerie has always
been to create a space where people from various social and cultural
backgrounds, with different interests, and of all ages can come together to be
creative, make new connections and feel inspired. We have delivered this under
our support for business and support for community. We want everyone who visits
to feel part of the experience, so you can always expect just that when you call
in to see us. Whether it’s the feeling you get when you purchase with purpose
and support local, or the creative atmosphere you walk into or the various
workshops available. You never know, you may even get the chance to try making
something yourself.
