Festival

The Boyne Music Festival returns for its 13th summer with an exciting programme of concerts, tours, workshops, poetry, family events and more. This year’s theme, Forgotten Spaces, reflects on the structures we live in and care for, and those we neglect. Programmes explore materials, construction and deconstruction, and how spaces shape our personal lives and community.
