Things To Do in Portadown
This might be interesting for someone living in Portadown, County Armagh who might have missed something or someone who used to live in the town or someone who plans to visit the town. There are many restaurants in Portadown as well. Portadown tourism is great as there are so many things to do in and outside of the town including fun activities for the kids, adults and children. One of the most popular annual events is country Come to Town. I work as a wedding photographer in Portadown so am always out in the town.
Portadown Town Centre
The town centre has lots of Portadown shops along High Street including one of the oldest Cordners Shoes which has been there since I can remember and also off the main street along Edward Street in Portadown, Thomas Street, Woodhouse Street and William Street where the Millennium Court is located where there is many exhibitions on show. There are two shopping centres in town High Street Mall and Meadows Shopping Centre. This is a series of black-and-white photos. Also, watch my Portadown town centre video I filmed too.

Country Comes To Town
Country Comes To Town Portadown Photos and Videos of the Animals, Vintage Cars and Country Music, looking forward to 2023. Looking forward to Country Comes to Town 2023 in Portadown this year which promises to be similar and hopefully better than previous years. This year you'll hear plenty of country music as well as plenty of stalls along the high street in the centre of portadown. Also I’m sure there’ll be plenty of kids activities too with some farm animals too.
Joe Macs Portadown
Joe Macs Portadown is a pub and food establishment in the town. I’ve been here a few times over the years for both food and drink and must say the steak is lovely on the menu, the burgers are great too. There is some live entertainment on at the weekends at Mac's Bar. The bar itself ise’t that big and not too small but just about the right size. Joe Macs in Portadown is worth a visit too as well as many other establishments in the town too. One of the many fab musicians used to be Juram Gavero whose music business is called Juram Music.

River Bann Portadown
The River Bann in Portadown runs underneath the Bann Bridge which you can drive over coming from Bridge Street end of town. It’s a great river for fishing, canoeing and jet ski-ing, picnicking and barbecuing with the family. There are always plenty of walkers along the path enjoying the views. Also check out below my River Bann Videos I have filmed including people out canoeing, kayaking and people just for a walk along the Bann Bridge and River Bann in Portadown. Filmed either with my camera equipment or drone footage which you can view below or on my YouTube channel.

Weddings Portadown
Seagoe Hotel Wedding (Bridal) Photos with Rio including Gardens around the back. The hotel is close where I live at just 10mins away. Probably about 10 minutes away from the M1 motorway so very handy for Seagoe Hotel Weddings. I am literally only a stones throw away from the Seagoe Hotel and theres no question the seagoe is one of the best hotels locally as I live close by. Check out the blog for more photos and images as I'm a Wedding Photographer in Portadown.

More things to do in Portadown
Ardress House in Portadown as there was a free National Trust open day on on this day so I decided to explore the house a little. To gain further understanding, when the house was built and history have a read through the councils website. I wasn’t here that long but there was an old farm beside the house and apple orchards too so I took a walk around the house and up ended inside. The place is fascinating from start to finish and is definitely one for further exploring in the future.
Loughgall Park
I was only here for a brief period but the park offers many great spots for walking, keeping fit as well as fishing too as there are a number of jetties at Loughgall Lake and as you’d expect with the local community in Loughgall, County Armagh is quite popular. I started off at the map close to the golf course then took a walk around to the lake but couldn’t see anyone fishing. I also filmed some video footage too while here.
Abandoned Buildings and Abandoned Places
Abandoned buildings in Portadown and abandoned places which I have explored with my camera mostly during one of the lockdowns in Portadown. Unfortunately due to unsafe these derelict buildings could be I will NOT be giving out any information and to be honest I probably can’t remember them anyways. I explored a small range of old abandoned buildings in NI from old houses in the countryside to an old abandoned farmhouses.
