Take a trip to Richhill for a traditional Village Fete

If you fancy a trip out of town for something different you should  take a trip to the popular Richhill Village Fete next weekend. 

Sponsored by firmus energy, the Fete, now in its fifth year has something for everyone and takes place Saturday 14 September at Richhill Square.. Adults can enjoy browsing over 30 stalls selling a wide range of items including crafts, candles and local produce. Children can take part in a series of fun filled activities ranging from face painting to balloon modelling and dog lovers will also be pleased to hear the annual dog show will be making a comeback - with prizes up for grabs for the waggiest tale and best dressed.

Speaking about the upcoming event, Philip Hewitt, firmus energy advisor Armagh, said: “The Richhill Village Fete continues to be one of the most popular community events in the area drawing people from across the county and we are delighted to give our continued support. We are looking forward to another fantastic event which offers the perfect occasion to get the whole family together.”

To date over 1,500 homes and businesses in Armagh are already connected to natural gas with firmus energy and enjoying the benefits that natural gas brings - from constant hot water, to more space in the garden to more efficient boilers.
