Armagh

Known as a top centre for arts and crafts, the city boasts a number of family based businesses, which have been running for years. If you’re looking for something special to take home, try the Armagh Glass Studio (18 Drummanmore Road); Dolmen Crafts (115 Portadown Road); and Mary Murphy Jewellery Design (14 Russell Street). 

As well as a glut of top name high street fashion stores, you can rummage around for something unique at the Shambles Market every Tuesday and Thursday where over 35 traders ply their wares.
