<strong>Armagh</strong> Planetarium is a multifaceted organisation dedicated to astronomy<br />
education for all levels, from nursery through to retirement age. It is the<br />
Planetarium’s unique ability to adapt to changing audience needs that has enabled it<br />
to stay at the forefront of science education since its formation.<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong> Planetarium offers a curriculum-broadening experience for school visitors<br />
and our educational programme has been designed to dovetail with the new<br />
curriculum. Our aim is to demonstrate to our visitors the amazing objects that exist<br />
in the cosmos, but to do it in such a way that they do not see our efforts as formal<br />
teaching. We call this ‘learning by stealth’.<br />

<strong>Armagh</strong> Public Library is the oldest library in <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong>, founded<br />

own library, containing 17th and 18th century books on many subjects.<br />
Also a registered museum, the Library holds ancient Irish artefacts such<br />
as stone axes, flint arrowheads and bronze implements.<br />
The library also holds resources to aid family history research.<br />

Built in 1772 as the Diocesan Registry to hold records for the Church<br />
of <strong>Ireland</strong> Diocese, this Grade A listed building has been restored and<br />
is open to the public. While the records are no longer retained in the<br />
building, examples are on display, with ancient coins, gems, significant<br />
prints, early Christian artefacts and other collections and curiosities<br />
which belong to <strong>Armagh</strong> Public Library. There are also opportunities to<br />
explore the collections in more detail, through the use of touch screens.<br />
This deceptively large building, which resembles a modest dwelling<br />
from the outside, has a fascinating interior, retains many of its original<br />
features and will appeal to all age groups.<br />

The cottage built in the 17th century<br />
consists of living quarters, spirit<br />
grocers and weavers’ quarters with<br />
a full working loom. It is situated at<br />
the centre of the site at which the<br />
famous Battle of the Diamond took<br />
place in 1795 and its timbers still<br />
bear the scorch marks from when<br />
the house was set alight during the<br />
battle. At 94ft long it is believed to<br />
be the longest thatched cottage<br />

century vernacular thatched farmhouse and is recognised in its listing as ‘The<br />
meeting place following the Battle of the Diamond, where the decision to form<br />
the Orange Order was made’. It was re-thatched and restored in 2000 with a large<br />
proportion of the original fabric being conserved. In the farmyard are displays<br />
of vintage farm machinery. Group visits to the Sloan’s House Orange Museum,<br />

<strong>Armagh</strong> City Centre<br />
Public Art Trail<br />
If you enjoy cities and walking, but want to find a way<br />
to make it interesting for others who don’t, including<br />
young children, then <strong>Armagh</strong> City’s Public Art may be<br />
exactly the answer. Take a wander around the City<br />
Centre and enjoy our historic streetscape through<br />
engaging with our artworks.<br />
“StarStone” by Richard Perry<br />
Location: Market Square<br />
This amazingly tactile 5.5m high sculpture made<br />
entirely of local <strong>Armagh</strong> Marble sits in front of the<br />
modern architectural lines of the Market Place<br />
Theatre. The inspiration for StarStone comes from<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong>’s long curiosity with the night sky, but also<br />
the way its Cathedrals seemingly reach for the sky<br />
from the hills on which the City is built. It provides a<br />
sense of the ancientness of <strong>Armagh</strong>, using local stone<br />
and real craftsmanship. If you look closely, you can<br />
find tiny fossils formed in the <strong>Armagh</strong> stone millions<br />
of years ago.<br />
“Gargoyles and Angels Miniature Sculpture<br />
Trail” by Holger Christian Lonze<br />
Location: Various<br />
These 22 miniature bronze sculptures hidden around<br />
the streets have got children excited as they embark<br />
on an Indiana Jones style adventure to track them all<br />
down. The curious humorous creatures, which are the<br />
work of artist Holger Lonze, are hidden in all kinds of<br />
curious places amongst the city’s historic buildings,<br />
architecture and streets. Find them get up to all kinds<br />
of mischief, escaping, climbing and playing with<br />
things they’ve found on the street - or stolen from<br />
inside the buildings.<br />

“Market Days and Fair Days” by Eleanor Wheeler<br />
Location: Market Square<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong> <strong>Visitor</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />
Situated in Market Square, the centre of Commerce<br />
in <strong>Armagh</strong> City for hundreds of years, this handmodelled<br />
ceramic wall art depicts the traditional<br />
‘journey’ to market from country to city and celebrates<br />
the humanity and humour of markets and fairs. The<br />
panels depict some of the produce taken to market<br />
– animals, grain, flax and flowers – as well as some of<br />
the musicians, storytellers and rhymers that would<br />
have entertained the crowds.<br />

<strong>Armagh</strong> City Centre<br />
Public Art Trail<br />
“Celestial Sphere” by Brian Connolly<br />
Location: Upper English Street<br />
The brightest stars and other features of the night sky have been mapped onto<br />
this large 2 metre diameter sphere, made from solid polished grey granite.<br />
The sphere with its gold stars is aligned to the north with the stars correctly<br />
orientated towards the pole star. The Celestial Sphere is set on top of four grey<br />
granite stones engraved with imagery and other information about the history<br />
of Astronomy and moon landings from earliest times up to the present.<br />
“For the Love of Emer” by Martin Heron<br />
Location: Scotch Street | Dobbin Street<br />
This 9 metre tall stainless steel sculpture by Martin Heron depicts the famous<br />
Irish Hero Cuchulainn, as he goes to the Isle of Skye to learn the art of balancing<br />
on the butt of a spear or the rim of a shield. All this effort was an attempt to<br />
prove himself to the father of Emer who he wanted to marry. You can find out<br />
more about the story of Cuchulainn and Emer at the Navan Centre & Fort.<br />
“Saints and Scholars Railings” by David Dudgeon<br />
Location: Dobbin Street Lane | Friary Road<br />
These railings are inspired by the legacy of Saint Patrick, referencing the<br />
intricate architecture of our two Cathedrals as well as the Celtic imagery of the<br />
‘Book of <strong>Armagh</strong>’. The railings employ a contemporary approach to traditional<br />
wrought iron work using a variety of different grades and weights of metal.<br />
The end result is a stunning visual artwork stimulating debate on many aspects<br />
of our ecclesiastical heritage.<br />

City and District Council began life<br />
in 1990 as part of International Sport<br />
and Cultural week linking it to a<br />
series of events throughout <strong>Ireland</strong>.<br />

the pooling of scarce resources to<br />
secure each year the participation<br />
not alone of hundreds of local<br />
athletes but also athletes of the<br />
highest elite standards from all over<br />
the World including Europe, United<br />
States and Africa.<br />

and elite performance has made this<br />
event in recent years one of the most<br />
significant road races on the<br />
International Calendar with athletes<br />
from all over Europe and the United<br />
States vying for invitations to take<br />
part. In recent years the Men’s 5k has<br />

Apple Blossom Festival<br />
May<br />
The Apple Blossom Festival takes place<br />
in May each year, and centres on the<br />
Manor Estate and Country Park in<br />
Loughgall. There are numerous events<br />
across the District at this time.<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong> is known as the Orchard<br />
County and towards the north of the<br />
county every hillside is covered almost<br />
exclusively with rows of Bramley apples.<br />
In early May during the Apple Blossom<br />
event the hillsides are in full bloom with<br />
white and pink blossom that lasts for<br />
only a short while.<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong> Bramley Apple enjoys an<br />
unrivalled reputation for fruit firmness,<br />
colour and keeping quality. The Fruit<br />
Industry Federation has applied to the<br />
European Union for ‘<strong>Armagh</strong> Bramley’<br />
to be awarded Protected Geographical<br />
Indicator [PGI] status.<br />
Bramleys are cooking apples used for<br />
a variety of produce such as juice or<br />
cider and the Apple Blossom event<br />
presents to the public how to cook their<br />
famous apple. Apple Blossom gives the<br />
general public the unique opportunity<br />
to see how the <strong>Armagh</strong> Bramley apple<br />
industry still values quality and best<br />
practice as an integral part of orchard<br />
production.<br />

John Hewitt International<br />
Summer School, July<br />
The John Hewitt Society was formed<br />
in 1987 to commemorate the life and<br />
work of the renowned <strong>Northern</strong> Irish<br />
poet who died that year. The Summer<br />
School is an internationally renowned<br />
festival of literature and the arts. The<br />
School adopts a specific theme each<br />
year and provides a safe, neutral and<br />
unthreatening space to explore these<br />
themes.<br />
The School takes place in the<br />
wonderful, modern surroundings of the<br />
Marketplace Theatre and Arts Centre<br />
in <strong>Armagh</strong>. Each year it attracts people<br />
from all over <strong>Ireland</strong>, Britain, Europe and<br />
the United States.<br />
To experience the wide range of<br />
distinct, though linked, cultural events,<br />
including creative writing workshops,<br />
poetry study, discussion and readings,<br />
open debate, music, drama, film and<br />
visual arts.<br />
The residential nature of the Summer<br />
School provides opportunities for<br />
people from all communities to<br />
live, work and socialise together<br />
throughout the week, encouraging<br />
interdependence. In order to maximise<br />
participation, the School works in<br />
partnership with local councils, arts<br />
organisations, community organisations<br />
and businesses to provide bursaries to<br />
individuals who might otherwise be<br />
excluded to attend the School.<br />

Road Bowls<br />
August<br />
According to the rules of the Bol<br />
Chumann na hÉireann , the Irish<br />
Road Bowling Association, the<br />
road bowler throws a 28-ounce<br />
[1.75 pounds or 800 grams] castiron<br />
sphere that looks like a small<br />
cannonball.<br />
Today’s solid steel projectile is<br />
called a ‘bowl’ in County Cork, but<br />
in County <strong>Armagh</strong> fans call it a<br />
‘bullet’. As in golf, the road bowler<br />
tries to move the bullet or bowl<br />
from the start to the finish of a predetermined<br />
course in as few drives<br />
or throws as possible.<br />
Road bowling is technically difficult,<br />
yet it’s an inexpensive sport<br />
requiring only a road that provides<br />
the course and the bullet itself. It has<br />
very ancient origins in the County of<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong>.<br />
Today road bowling is a popular<br />
competitive sport where it is played,<br />
but the most vigorous competitions<br />
are in two Irish Counties: <strong>Armagh</strong><br />
and Cork.<br />

Charles Wood<br />
Summer School<br />
August<br />
Charles Wood, the renowned<br />
musician and composer, was born at<br />
11, Vicars’ Hill, <strong>Armagh</strong> in 1866 and<br />
received his early musical education<br />
as a chorister in the Cathedral<br />
opposite his home. He later studied<br />
at the Royal College of Music and<br />
later became a Professor of music at<br />
Cambridge University.<br />
When Wood died in 1926, he left<br />
behind a legacy of over 250 sacred<br />
works including hymn tunes, songs,<br />
music for Greek plays and chamber<br />
music. It is largely his sacred music<br />
that he is remembered today and<br />
this is why the focus of the Summer<br />
School is music in worship.<br />
7 Hills Blues Fest<br />
August<br />
Already an established event on<br />
the Blues calendar, this event grows<br />

some of the finest Blues bands to<br />
the atmospheric streets of <strong>Armagh</strong>.<br />

ensuring that 7 Hills Festival goers<br />
are in for a real treat! Fringe events<br />

The Mall<br />
The Mall or Commons has been<br />
central to the leisure activities of<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong>’s citizens for over 200 years.<br />
From 1731- 1773 it was a horseracing<br />
course with monthly trading<br />
fairs in the central area. In 1765<br />
Archbishop Robinson arrived and<br />
began a plan to redevelop <strong>Armagh</strong><br />
as a city to rival Dublin.<br />
The Commons and its raucous<br />
pursuits did not fit in with the<br />
Archbishop’s vision for a new city. He<br />
gifted the new mall to the citizens of<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong> as a public walkway. Over<br />
the years the tree-lined promenade<br />
became an area for sports such as<br />
cricket, football and rugby.<br />
Care of the Mall was left in the hands<br />
of the Mall Trustees, and by 2003 a<br />
partnership was formed along with<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong> City and District Council.<br />
The Heritage Lottery Fund granted<br />
an award for refurbishment which<br />
aimed to update the facilities of<br />
the Mall without losing its unique<br />
character. In 2005 the Mall won<br />
the Civic Trust Award and the Irish<br />
Architecture Award.<br />

The <strong>Armagh</strong> Observatory Grounds and Astropark<br />
The <strong>Armagh</strong> Observatory is a modern astronomical research institute, the<br />
oldest scientific institution in <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong>, founded by Archbishop<br />
Richard Robinson in 1790. It stands in approximately 14 acres of attractive,<br />
landscaped gardens which are opened throughout the year. A walk through<br />
the Astropark is a stroll through the Universe, with the path beginning near<br />
to the Planetarium car park and leading to a scale model of the Solar System<br />
in which every three paces corresponds to 100 million km in space.<br />

Saint Patrick’s Church of <strong>Ireland</strong> Cathedral Gardens<br />
The gardens at the Saint Patrick’s Church of <strong>Ireland</strong> Cathedral consist of a<br />
monastic herb garden laid out in the simple pattern employed by the early<br />
Christian monasteries. The gardens are accessible from Market Street as well<br />
as the main entrance to the Cathedral. Opening hours are 10.00am to 4.00pm<br />
every day.<br />

Saint Patrick’s Catholic<br />
Cathedral Gardens<br />
Argory<br />
Gardens<br />
68|69<br />
For over two hundred years the undulating parkland of the<br />
Palace Demesne has been one of the glories of <strong>Armagh</strong>.<br />
The Demesne, comprising some 300 acres, is the creation of<br />
Archbishop Richard Robinson. The Palace was the residence of<br />
the Archbishops of the Church of <strong>Ireland</strong> from 1770 to 1975.<br />
The walks around the Demesne vary in distance and effort<br />
required, taking you into the back meadows and around the<br />
more formal Palace Gardens.<br />
The ‘Garden of the Senses’ is no ordinary garden; rather a<br />
sensory experience that will appeal to both able-bodied and<br />
disabled visitors. Made up of five distinct areas which are linked<br />
by a winding path, the garden offers a veritable feast for the<br />
five senses. There is a seated area to relax in and listen to the<br />
gentle sound of the fountains. Call 028 3752 9655 to book a<br />
guided tour of the Palace Stables.<br />
The gardens at Saint Patrick’s<br />
Catholic Cathedral have evolved<br />
over more than 100 years. When the<br />
Cathedral was consecrated in July<br />
1904, Archbishop Daniel McGettigan<br />
had the seven-terrace flight of steps<br />
constructed from the Cathedral<br />
gates to the piazza in front of the<br />
Great West Door. The gardens are<br />
open to the public every day and<br />
are found on the approach to the<br />
Cathedral on either side of the main<br />
steps.<br />
www.armagharchdiocese.org<br />
The Pleasure Gardens feature<br />
many interesting plants including<br />
specimens from the ‘Springer’<br />
collection.<br />
There are two pavilions at the<br />
corners of the Pleasure Gardens and<br />
two delightful Victorian arbours. A<br />
path leads through to the beautiful<br />
rose garden with its regimented box<br />
hedges and a fascinating sundial<br />
dating back to the 1820’s<br />

The delightful Rose Garden was<br />
replanted in 2000 with a mixture of<br />
varieties of Irish roses alongside a<br />
variety of Floribundas. In the walled<br />
garden, within the farmyard, there<br />
are planted many varieties of old<br />
Irish apple trees. The Ladies’ Walk<br />
provides a perimeter path around<br />

Orchards...<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong> is renowned as the ‘Orchard<br />
County’ or the ‘Orchard of <strong>Ireland</strong>’. The<br />
area comes alive with colour as the<br />
pink flowers of the apple trees blanket<br />
much of the deep green landscape.<br />
There is a history of apple growing in<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong> dating back 3000 years.<br />
Saint Patrick planted an apple tree at<br />
Ceangoba, an ancient settlement east<br />
of the city.<br />
Today more than 4000 acres of<br />
<strong>Armagh</strong> are covered by apple trees.<br />
Approximately 90% of these crops are<br />
bramley apples which are harvested<br />
here in County <strong>Armagh</strong>, and then<br />
exported to the rest of the world.<br />
