The Argory Summer Fete
The Argory Summer Fete is presented with support from Armagh City Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council
A Legacy of Celebration
Built in 1824, The Argory has long been a place of gathering and festivity. For generations, the MacGeough Bond family welcomed the local community to summer fetes filled with games, music, and merriment. This year, we proudly continue that tradition—with a modern twist!
Kick Off the Weekend with a Family Fun Run
