Armagh Georgian Weekend

About

Step back in time as the Georgian Festival returns to Armagh. Delve into the Georgian history of Armagh through the buildings, characters and customs of the latter half of the 18th Century. Events take place from Thursday 27th - Sunday 30th November 2025.

Georgian Day on Saturday 29th November is the highlight of the festival – a day rich in atmosphere where you can hear the clip clop of the horses' hooves along the Mall, listen to musicians around the streets and smell the roasting chestnuts and mulled spices as you wander among the array of craft and food stalls throughout the bustling city centre and on the picturesque setting of The Mall. Make sure to look out for the Georgian characters – the Gentry, the urchins and the gin soaked ladies as they  promenade through the city streets and the Mall.  The tree lined Mall will be alive with activity including Horse and Carriage Rides, Stalls, Children's entertainment, with the ever popular Carousel, Music and Hot Chestnuts.

Take in the splendour of the Georgian architecture as the Gentry arrive into the city transported by horse and carriages on the Mall. The day will conclude with the spectacle of the Georgian light shows which transform the Market House, a beautiful Georgian, building into a shimmering canvas for images, special effects and other surprises!

Armagh Georgian Festival promises to be a weekend which brings the city's Georgian history and stories to life, where you can uncover some of our city's hidden gems and take part in a range of activities and experiences which are not only enjoyable, but interpret and explain our city's Georgian roots.
