A weekend Christmas fair of local craft, food and drink stalls at The Argory, the National Trust's 1820s country house near Moy, with the house dressed for Christmas and visits from Santa.

The Argory is a National Trust country house built in the 1820s above the River Blackwater, near Moy on the Armagh-Tyrone border. Its Christmas Fair fills the property with local craft, food and drink stalls over the first weekend of December, with live music and traditional festive entertainment.

Visitors can also see the house decorated for a traditional Christmas, and families can meet Santa. In 2025 the fair was preceded by a short Friday-evening Twilight Christmas Market of local artisans, and the Saturday and Sunday fair stayed open into the evening.

There's no separate charge for the fair, but normal National Trust admission applies to non-members; members get in free. No booking is needed.
