A Cultural Experience at the Ring of Gullion Autumn Festival
Join Ann Ward, holistic tour guide and founder of Xhale, as she shares the fascinating history of her WW2 Nissen hut — a structure once built for wartime, now transformed into a peaceful, creative space for healing and reflection.
A Hidden Gem in South Armagh
Set in the heart of South Armagh, this quirky venue lies within the Ring of Gullion Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), part of the Mourne Gullion Strangford UNESCO Global Geopark. It’s a landscape steeped in history, culture, and natural beauty — the perfect setting for this immersive experience.
Music Meets Memory
As part of the Ring of Gullion Autumn Festival 2025 and European Heritage Open Days (EHOD), this unique community event blends history, architecture, and traditional arts. The Traditional Arts Partnership will bring the venue to life with lively tunes, celebrating the cultural richness of South Armagh.
Architectural Heritage: Past Structures, Future Connections
This year’s EHOD theme highlights how historic buildings continue to shape our communities. Ann’s Nissen hut is a perfect example — a wartime relic reimagined as a space for creativity, connection, and wellbeing.
