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!

Armagh Georgian Festival (Thur 26 - Sun 29 Nov)

Step back in time at the Armagh Georgian Festival, a city-wide celebration of the buildings, characters and customs that shaped Armagh in the late 18th century. Taking place across four days, the festival brings Georgian history to life through immersive events, living history experiences and atmospheric entertainment throughout the city.

The highlight is Georgian Day, when the streets and The Mall are filled with costumed characters, horse-drawn carriages, live music, craft stalls and family-friendly entertainment. From strolling among Georgian gentry and colourful street performers to enjoying roasted chestnuts and festive treats, visitors can experience the sights, sounds and stories of a bygone era before the day concludes with spectacular light shows illuminating the historic Market House.
