Dromore has been our home for almost four years now, and it has been our pleasure to settle into the community as a family and as a business. In our recent Spring/Summer fashion shoot we decided to take advantage of some of the locations that make Dromore both unique in character and bustling with charm. Here are three of the highlights.
1. A Country Gem
Nestled in the rolling countryside of Co. Down, Dromore is a haven for those whose roots are in the countryside. Surrounded by lush green fields and scenic views, you are as likely to find a John Deere stopping off for a cheeky lunchtime chippy as you are to find a tech entrepreneur out for a ‘working from home’ coffee meeting.
2. A Historic Heart
One of the highlights of a recent fashion shoot in Dromore was the stunning viaduct—a structure that stands as a quiet reminder of the town’s important place in history. It served as a perfect counterpoint to the chic, modern outfits on display. Dromore somehow manages to blend its heritage with a contemporary vibe seamlessly, making it a town that feels both rooted in the past and looking ahead to the future. Why not try walking the Historic Dromore trail sometime?
3. A Bustling Heart and Soul
The town square is always a hive of activity, and during the fashion shoot, it was transformed into the ultimate runway for ‘ladies-who-lunch’ styles. The local cafes and charming town hall framed the moments beautifully, while passers-by added to the atmosphere with curious glances and supportive smiles. And for a little international flair, the pedestrian crossing on Church Street became a playful homage to iconic fashion scenes—think New York, Tokyo, or even Abbey Road.
Dromore is much more than a stop on the map — it’s a community, a canvas, and a keeper of stories both old and new. For so long burdened with that odious label ‘commuter town’, there is now a genuine sense of momentum among local business and community organisations.
So next time you’re passing by, why not stop for a coffee, a dander and maybe even a call at Melanie Bond Boutique!
