Armagh’s Georgian Weekend (27 - 30 Nov)

Armagh’s Georgian Weekend attracts crowds to the city every November to experience life as a Georgian.

These are just some of many exciting things Armagh has lined up for you - you can be sure that whenever you choose to visit, you’re guaranteed an eventful trip.
