Drogheda

A walk along the river Boyne in Drogheda exploring the ancient mythology of Ireland’s most eminent river valley. Expert guide Anthony Murphy of Mythical Ireland will take you back in time to a hoary and misty age of the past when deities battled with mortal humans in supernatural encounters. Hear about how many Irish myths which are known around the world are closely connected with the Boyne and the Drogheda area. Walking will be at a leisurely pace, suitable for families. 

Join us on TUESDAY 7th DECEMBER at 7pm for a festive fireside wine and food event like no other!

Highlanes Gallery marks the 40th anniversary of the death of Irish artist, Nano Reid, with a unique exhibition celebrating her life, work and legacy. Adamantine is a word suggesting something bold, unswerving, powerfully itself, attributes which pertain, not just to Reid’s work, but to the way she lived her life. Born in Drogheda in 1900, she forged her way determinedly through an artistic landscape dominated by males to become one of the most exciting and original artists of her generation, with a rich, brooding, evocative style completely her own.
