Meet the Warriors - Navan Centre and Fort, Armagh

What to Expect

Meet the Warriors is the flagship family experience at Navan Centre and Fort - one of the most important Celtic sites in Ireland. Families are kitted out in face paint and authentic Celtic costumes and become part of an Iron Age clan for around 1 hour 45 minutes. The experience includes storytelling around the fire (tales of CuChulainn and the Red Branch Warriors), spear throwing and learning about Celtic weaponry, and instruction in ancient Ogham writing.

The experience runs every day in July and August, and on weekends in April, May, June and September. It is set at the foot of Navan Fort / Emain Macha, the ancient capital of Ulster.
