Meet a Georgian gentleman and take home a timeless keepsake.

Visit Armagh Robinson Library for an afternoon of Georgian-inspired activities and characters.

Portrait silhouettes, or “shades”, were a fashionable craze in Georgian society and were often exchanged as treasured mementoes. Drop in and have your individual or family silhouette expertly cut, creating a unique souvenir of your visit.

Also in attendance throughout the afternoon will be Sir Thomas Robinson, 1st Baronet of Rokeby, the elder brother of Archbishop Robinson. A noted politician, architect, collector and former Governor of Barbados, Sir Thomas was renowned for his colourful personality and remarkable achievements. Chat with this fascinating Georgian character and discover stories, anecdotes and insights into life in the 18th century.

Free of charge. All activities are drop-in and no booking is required.
