History & Heritage

As winter gives way to early spring, Ireland’s ancient landscape comes alive with new hope and renewal. For centuries, St. Brigid’s Day, celebrated on February 1st, marks not only the beginning of the Celtic Spring but also a time to honour one of the country’s most beloved saints. St. Brigid’s Day, and the bank holiday weekend, provides a unique opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in Ireland’s heritage while enjoying a peaceful break in The Boyne Valley.

The kids are back to school after the Christmas holidays, and it won’t be long before they are off again for the mid-term break 2025. If you are looking for somewhere in Ireland to enjoy a family break this mid-term, look no further than the Boyne Valley. We have adventure, we have history, and we have great accommodation options too.

The Winter Solstice is a truly magical time of year, and there is no better place to witness this ancient event than at Newgrange in County Meath.

There is no better way to celebrate the festive season than a night out with friends or work colleagues at a Christmas Party Night. Why not make the trip to County Meath or South County Louth and enjoy a beautiful meal, great live music, and lots of dancing. Check in for the night at one of our accommodation providers and make the night complete. Here are our top Christmas Party nights out in the Boyne Valley 2024!
