This festival is held in County Armagh, a place in Northern Ireland known as the "Orchard County" because of its many apple trees. The festival is named after the Bramley apple, which is a big, green apple that is perfect for making apple pies and apple sauces.
The Armagh Bramley Apple Festival is a fun day where people come together to celebrate and enjoy everything about apples. There are lots of things to do at the festival that children like you would enjoy.
