Culinary Crawl - Armagh Food and Cider Weekend
At Armagh City Centre (multiple stops) · Armagh City, Co. Armagh
At Armagh City Centre (multiple stops) · Armagh City, Co. Armagh
If you want to eat and drink your way through one of Ireland’s most handsome cathedral cities with a local guide filling in the stories behind every bite, the Culinary Crawl is the Sunday afternoon session to book. It brings together the best of what Armagh does well - orchard county produce, craft cider, and a city that has been feeding and trading since monastic times - into a guided walk that covers the streets rather than a single venue. It suits food lovers, curious visitors, and anyone who finds a good narrative alongside their tasting notes more enjoyable than a static lunch.
The crawl departs at 2pm on Sunday 6 September 2026, the final afternoon of Armagh Food and Cider Weekend (3 to 6 September). A guide leads the group through the city’s historic streets, calling in at a series of stops where local producers, restaurants, and traders serve tastings of food and drink. Storytelling runs through the whole experience - the guide connects each venue or product to the broader food culture of Co. Armagh, a county with PGI-status Bramley apples, a well-established craft cider scene, and a long tradition of farm-to-table hospitality.
Places are limited and tickets must be purchased in advance through the Visit Armagh website. The crawl runs alongside the free Artisan Street Market on Market Street, which operates from 12 noon to 5pm on the same day, so arriving a little early gives you time to browse the market stalls before the guided portion begins.
Armagh city sits roughly 40 miles south-west of Belfast and 17 miles north of Dundalk. By road, the A3 from Belfast and the A28 from Newry are the main routes in. Translink bus services connect Armagh to Portadown, Newry, and Belfast throughout the day. There is pay and display parking in the city centre, with several car parks close to the main streets where the crawl takes place.
The city rewards a longer visit - St Patrick’s two cathedrals, the Georgian Mall, the Armagh Robinson Library, and the Planetarium are all walkable from the city centre, and the surrounding countryside is apple orchard country. There is more to see in Armagh and across Co. Armagh.
