The Armagh Rhymers are one of the most celebrated traditional music and theatre ensembles on the island of Ireland. The masked tradition of rhyming with its unique blend of music, drama, song and dance dates back over 2,500 years.
Originally a rural tradition, groups of Rhymers (also known as Mummers, Wren Boys, Biddymen, Strawboys), would dress in costumes made from materials gathered around the home to go from house to house to entertain friends and neighbours.
Come along and celebrate the mumming heritage of Fermanagh, as part of the Lough Erne Heritage Festival
