Next year the UK is celebrating The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
In June 2012, everyone across Britain will honour the 60-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II and Ulster Weavers will be rejoicing in the event too with our fabulous new Queen’s Diamond Jubilee ranges.
We can help you sing the praises of the Her Majesty The Queen and show patriotism for the Royal family with our traditional and contemporary homeware and textile collections.
The contemporary styles are brightly coloured and are a modern design twist to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Whereas the traditional design is pink and is a beautiful collection of kitchen co-ordinates and canvas bag as a remembrance.
The traditional range comes complete with matching cotton apron, double oven glove, bone china mug, tea cosy, shaped tea cosy, cotton bag and cotton tea towel. And the modern range includes cotton apron, double oven glove, bone china mug, cotton tea towel, medium canvas bags and tea cosy.
There will be a special bank holiday for the Diamond Jubilee and schools in England and Wales will be able to close to take part in celebrations. A number of exhibitions will take place to pay tribute to the 60 years of The Queen on the throne and an official medal has been commissioned to mark the honour.
A Diamond Jubilee Pageant will take place at Windsor Castle and as part of the celebrations towns in the UK not only compete for city status but the communities are also being encouraged to hold street parties.
A new charitable Trust has been launched in honour of the special event and the Jubilee emblem design was chosen after a national children’s competition. The only other British monarch to celebrate a Diamond Jubilee was Queen Victoria in 1897.
So demonstrate British pride and join in the festivities with our gorgeous ranges and visit the site today by clicking here.

The day saw our directors, marketing team, design and sales team walk round with chickens, bunny rabbits, spotty pigs, hedgehogs, owls, dogs and strawberries on their head, all taken from our wide range of tea cosy collections featured on the Ulsterweavers.com website.
And as we at Ulster Weavers are renowned for our tea cosies and many other home textile products, we couldn’t wait for this special festive day to begin.

The Irish based home textiles company have some fantastic collections on offer including the Victoria range, a traditional floral design with a fresh, modern twist. The stylist apron and spotty frills will add a quirky edge to your kitchen coordinates.
And if you are not into the floral frills and prefer a classic style then why not take a look at the Plain Dyed collection, a simple, traditional yet tasteful style for all types of kitchens. With six colours to choose from you can either colour co-ordinate or mix and match a variation of styles to spruce up your home.
For more information and to view all of the stunning collections visit UlsterWeavers.com today.
Heat the butter and oil in a shallow frying pan. Add the coated soda bread and cook lightly on either side, turning once. Cooking should take only a couple of minutes in total. Use a little kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
For Savoury
Mix the pickles and relish together and spoon onto the toast. Crumble the cheese on top and brown under a very hot grill.
For Sweet
Core the apples and cut them into wedges, skin still on, and quarter the plums. Gently poach in the water and sugar for approximately 2-3 minutes until soft.
Spoon the fruit onto the farl and top yoghurt.
Garnish with a sprig of mint
