Calling all Bookworms!

Visitors reading books in the second-hand bookshop at The Argory, County Armagh.

The courtyard will once again be filled with a vast array of second-hand books to suit all tastes and interests. Enjoy live music on Sunday from The D Donaghadee brothers and there will be Punch and Judy shows for the little ones.

The National Trust property near Moy opened its second-hand bookshop 6 years ago and has since been greatly welcomed by all visitors. Local visitor, Vicky Lennox from Cookstown commented:

‘I always come to The Argory to stock up on books for my family – there are romance novels for me, sports and history books for my husband and a huge range of fun and educational books for the children. I can even pick up some gifts for other family members! And of course, a visit to The Argory makes for a great day out for the family’

Whilst on the property, why not take a tour of the unique Irish gentry house or enjoy home baked cakes, scones and teas in the Courtyard Coffee Shop. Treat yourself to something nice in the shop, packed with an extensive range of products and gifts.

Just 10 minutes away, Ardress House will also be open to visitors. Take a gentle walk along ‘The Ladies Mile’, say hello to the farmyard animals and feed the chickens.

Take a tour of Ardress House to discover the history behind this charming 17th century farmhouse.

The Argory Spring Book Fair will take place on Saturday 21 March and Sunday 22 March from 12-5pm. Normal admission, National Trust members free. For further information on National Trust events visit www.nationaltrust.org.uk/argory
