Armagh County Museum - Family Craft and Discovery Workshops

What to Expect

Armagh County Museum on The Mall runs free family workshops throughout summer, aimed at primary school-aged children. Typical activities include craft sessions inspired by the museum’s art and natural history collections, dressing up in historical costumes, exploring a touch table, and following themed trails through the galleries. Sessions usually run from 12pm to 4pm.

Summer 2026 also sees the start of the “Art on Your Doorstep” community programme, a partnership with the National Gallery of Ireland that includes artist-led workshops for families and community groups, inspired by both National Gallery works and the museum’s own collection.
