The ceremony will take place in the peninsula at the back of the Fort and you are welcome to enjoy it. There will be directions to it from the market.
The final part of The Hillsborough Fort Guard ceremonly will take place at 1.45pm as the new Warders in their new bespoke uniforms will parade up Park Street, onto Dromore Road and down Main Street to Hillsborough Parish Church to music from The Band of the Royal Irish Regiment.
