What's On
The Hill of Armagh will play its role in welcoming visitors for Georgian Day. The Georgian buildings of the Library and No 5 Vicars' Hill, the former Registry, will be open on Saturday 29th November 2025 to encourage visitors to step back in time. Visitors will have the opportunity to see inside the Library, which was built in 1771 as a public library and is the oldest library in Northern Ireland, and see inside the 1772 Registry, which held precious documents and records, where you can learn about Wax Sealing.
Both buildings were part of Archbishop Robinson's plans for Georgian Armagh. Library staff and volunteers will be on duty to talk with visitors to let them learn more about the Library's treasures, and on Georgian Day they will have additional help from one of our Georgian characters, Mrs Smith, who will add to the Georgian atmosphere. A Georgian Caricaturist will also be in the Robinson Library to capture your character between 12 noon to 4.30pm.
St Patrick's Church of Ireland Cathedral will host Choral Evensong at 5.00pm in the Cathedral. The timeless beauty of the service of Choral Evensong, sung within the magnificent setting of the Cathedral.
Armagh Robinson Library will also be open to the public on Sunday 30th November from 2.00pm to 5.00pm
