The courtyard will once again be filled with a vast array of second-hand books to suit all tastes and interests.

The National Trust property near Moy opened its second-hand bookshop 7 years ago and has been greatly welcomed by all visitors. Local visitor, Vicky Lennox from Cookstown commented: “I always come to The Argory to stock up on books for my family – there are romance novels for me, sports and history books for my husband and a huge range of fun and educational books for the children. I can even pick up some gifts for other family members! And of course, a visit to The Argory makes for a great day out for the family.”
