Tonight’s the night! We’ve been been gearing up for this event for months – and now it’s here!
Armagh I’s People of the Year awards are being held at a venue that’s simply out of this world….the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium.
Kicking off at 6:30pm, with a drinks reception, the awards ceremony begins in earnest at 7:30pm.
And we’re delighted to have the evening hosted by Cool FM’s Rebecca McKinney, with music from Martin Rafferty.
