Festival

Boyne Valley Trails are a Drogheda based voluntary group which aims to share the beauty, heritage and culture of Ireland's ancient Boyne Valley, through a series of bespoke walks, trails and adventures.

Explore the Boyne Valley this September. Hike off the beaten track, through forest trails and along upspoilt riverbanks. 

Schedule of Events

According to legend, Samhain, the ancient Celtic Festival that we now call Halloween, originated here in Co. Meath in the Boyne Valley. Samhain was said to mark the harvest and a time of transition, with feasting and celebration as the long winter nights approached. To this day the Boyne Valley has remained the home of Halloween, the modern equivalent of Samhain. Whether is ‘Fun by Day’ or ‘Fright by Night’, spine-tingling fun awaits for young and old alike in the Spirits of Meath festival.

The Moynalty Yoga Festival is back, with 5 workshop spaces and a variety of yoga, dance, meditation and much more. Therapies, food and craft stalls.

A weekend of movement, wellness, fun and laughter.

Book your place at the festival here.
