2026 is almost here already and we are looking forward to a new year filled with relaxation after the busy Christmas period, but some adventure too! The Boyne Valley in County Meath and South County Louth is the perfect destination this January, whether you want to relax and take some down time with that special someone, or if you prefer to get more active and discover our greenways, heritage sites and more. There is also plenty of events happening in the region- from concerts to workshops and everything in between. Here are our top events to look out for this January in the Boyne Valley.
Droichead Arts Centre
Jack and the Beanstalk is coming to the Droichead this January starring Pop Sensation Jake Carter as Jack! Join us for lots of panto magic in this traditional family production of an age-old fairy tale.
Can Jack climb the beanstalk to defeat the Wicked Giant and his horrible sidekick Flesh Creep to rescue Jill & Pat the Cow? Maybe, with the help of Dame Nellie Nu Nu and her silly son Simple Simon they just might pull it off. But it all depends on your help and a little panto magic of course! So why not join us for this ‘udderly’ amazing, ‘giant-gantic’ family fun filled adventure to Pantoland that you’ve all ‘bean’ waiting for. See you there!
Book your seats soon to the most magical traditional family panto in town.
