We are planning for a new bank holiday this year in the Boyne Valley. Named after St Brigid, the female patron saint of Ireland, the public holiday is the first Monday in February, except where St Brigid's day (1st of February) happens to fall on a Friday, in which case that Friday 1 February will be a public holiday. This year, the bank holiday will fall on Monday the 6th of February. Make a break for the Boyne Valley to celebrate this extra day off- there is so much to discover and great accommodation offers too! Here are our top picks:
