What's On in County Armagh

Armagh’s got it all going on. The question here is not ‘What’s on in Armagh?” It’s more a case of “What’s on next?” When it comes to things to do in Armagh, there are events to suit every taste and every pocket – from glammed-up Georgians to cider festivals and loads more things to do. Let's take a look at what's going on during the incoming months!

The Tandragee 100 (27 - 28 June 2025)

Fast. Furious. And full of motorcycle action. This is one of the leading motorcycle road races in Ireland. Riders compete against the county’s undeniably beautiful, but technically demanding, highways and byways. Attracting top class competitors and hordes of spectators from around the world, it’s been dubbed the ‘mini-TT’ by top riders. A real test of road racing skills with narrow bumpy sections and fast sweeping bends. Luckily, for both spectators and competitors, there are wonderful places nearby to unwind, such as Gosford Forest Park Gate Lodge, the former gamekeeper’s residence, which has been converted into self-catering accommodation.

7 Hills Blues Festival (1 -3 Aug 2025)

Singing the blues, this August catch a world class line-up of blues talent. It takes the city by storm with blues and roots events happening at venues and locations all around you. There are Picnics in the Park, BBQs ‘n’ Blues and themed events at many local hotels and bars. So if you are searching for something to do, Why not head on down to the blues capital and experience some of Armagh's fine dining, family friendly entertainment and blues artists in a weekend not to be missed.

Armagh Food & Cider Weekend (4 - 7 Sep 2025)

The Orchard County comes into its own each autumn. That’s when the Food & Cider Festival hits town. Though, in truth, with its acres of orchards and unquestionable reverence for the Armagh Bramley Apple, every day here is a celebration of that wonderful fruit. To see just how much you can do with an apple, make a date for this wonderful festival. The city’s alive with open air markets, cookery masterclasses, tasting dinners and, of course, orchard and cidery (yes, that is a word) tours. The Bramley Apple Banquet is a highlight. Like to work up an appetite first? Then join in some hedgerow foraging.

Armagh’s Georgian Weekend (27 - 30 Nov 2025)

Armagh’s Georgian Weekend attracts crowds to the city every November to experience life as a Georgian. And it is quite an experience, taking in the best of Armagh’s Georgian history, heritage and architectural past. Historical buildings open their doors, horses and carriages parade along the Mall and powdered wigs are everywhere. The Great Georgian Banquet at Archbishop’s Robinson’s Palace is just one example, Talks, tours, live music and suitably themed food and drink all add to the atmosphere for children and adults alike.

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.
