A four-day programme of more than 40 food and cider events across Armagh, celebrating the PGI-status Armagh Bramley apple.

Armagh Food and Cider Weekend celebrates the Orchard County's Bramley apples, craft cider and local food. Over four days there are more than 40 events, from supper clubs, woodland feasts and fire-cooking masterclasses to orchard tours, apple-picking lunches, cider tastings and family cookery workshops.

Alongside the ticketed experiences there are free drop-in events. In recent years these have included an Artisan Street Market on Market Street and Cider in the City at Shambles Yard, where cider makers run their own stalls alongside street food and live music.

The council says the 2024 weekend attracted more than 9,000 visitors.
