Welcome to Danann Crafts, Our Family’s Labor of Love

Nestled in the heart of Lurgan, Co. Armagh, on William Street, stands our quaint and beloved store, Danann Crafts. This venture is the heart and soul of myself, Sinead, and my husband, Peadar McMahon. More than just a business, it’s a reflection of our family’s dedication to fostering a vibrant crafting community.

Our Story Begins… Our journey began back in 2013, around the kitchen table in our living room, while I was on maternity leave with our first child. Even then, our passion was clear – to support, purchase from, and promote local artisans. This guiding principle has been the cornerstone of our business ever since. By 2014, our dream took a tangible shape when we opened Danann Crafts as a trial, and we’re thrilled to say our doors remain open to this day.

A Space with History and Charm Our ‘wee shap’ is more than just a store; it’s a space teeming with history and charm. For over 50 years, this site served as a dental surgery, and before that, it was a Temperance hotel, purpose-built for the Railway in the 1860s. We’ve embraced this quirky past, infusing it with our love for crafts and community.
