Several more of Armagh\u2019s top visitor attractions will reopen their doors in August, including Armagh County Museum, Brownlow House and the Market Place Theatre, it was confirmed today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FE McWilliam Gallery in Banbridge and Armagh\u2019s Navan Fort & Centre reopened this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With new safety measures introduced which adhere to government and public and health guidance, Armagh Country Museum opens on Wednesday 12 August from 10am until 4pm and admission is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oldest county museum on the island of Ireland and set in Armagh City\u2019s beautiful tree-lined Mall, its collections capture centuries of stories relating to the people who lived, worked and had connections with this famous city and historic county. With collections ranging from local history and fine art to archaeology and natural history, this is the ideal place to experience a flavour of the famous \u2018orchard county\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also enjoy the museum\u2019s newest exhibition, Troubles Art<\/em>, which continues until October and which draws from the art collection at National Museums Northern Ireland featuring artists\u2019 response to the troubles and border counties. Part of the Making the Future<\/em> project, a cross-border cultural heritage programme funded through the PEACE IV Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), it\u2019s definitely worth a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another place to explore this summer is Armagh\u2019s much-loved Market Place Theatre \u2013 just a short stroll from the Mall \u2013 and is preparing to reopen safely for visitors from Friday 7 August. This flagship venue will be open from Thursday to Saturday every week from 10am to 4pm, welcoming visitors to view a fantastic photographic exhibition by Vincent Loughran in its spacious gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Market Place Theatre\u2019s hugely popular interactive workshop programme will also resume on Saturdays throughout August. Places are still available for creating your own Macram\u00e9 Plant Holder on 15 August. Unfortunately all other workshops are sold out. Booking for the Macram\u00e9 workshop and further information is available by contacting the box office during its opening hours on 028 3752 1821 or through www.visitarmagh.com\/marketplacetheatre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the grand Elizabethan Brownlow House safely reopens to visitors on Monday 4 August in Lurgan Park, Northern Ireland’s largest and most beautiful urban park. Built in age of grandeur and cultured tastes, Lurgan Castle as it\u2019s known locally is an imposing building situated just a few minutes\u2019 walk from the Lurgan town centre. Built in 1833, this Grade A listed destination should be on everyone\u2019s itinerary this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitor safety is a priority across all reopening venues and new measures are firmly in place for the everyone\u2019s health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
