Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is seeking a catering provider to operate the café and food offering at Navan Centre & Fort, a heritage attraction located just outside Armagh City.

The centre, built around the ancient ceremonial site of Emain Mhacha, attracts thousands of visitors annually through guided tours, living history experiences, education programmes, events, and a gift shop. The café is part of the current offering.

The council states that with growing visitor numbers and a busy events schedule, the successful operator will be expected to develop food and drink services for visitors, including events and educational groups. The provider should align with the heritage brand of the site and support the borough's reputation as Northern Ireland's Food Heartland.

Interested parties are expected to contribute to visitor satisfaction and repeat visits, working in partnership with the council.

The closing date for applications is Wednesday 7 October 2026. Enquiries can be directed to Ruth Roberts of Fathom Consultancy Solutions Limited via email or telephone, and site visits can be arranged through Joanne McElmeel.
