“Now that our district has expanded  to the Newry and Mourne district area, COuncil felt it should produce a district wide arts, culture and museum programme to include events at the Sean Hollywood Centre, Newry Town Hall, Warrentown Town Hall and Newry and Mourne Museum to ensure that we offer all who live, work and visit the district, opportunities to engage with arts and culture at a meaningful level.
“I hope that by reading this programme you will find something to enjoy, entertain and enlighten you over the coming months. With such a wide variety of quality local arts, culture, great comedy, theatre, children’s events and much more, there’s certainly enough to keep everyone busy.”
