There has been a great buzz in the Boyne Valley over the past month with not 1, but 4 different festivals drawing visitors to our beautiful region.
NB: bookings take place on the Office of Public Works website heritageireland.ie.
As food festivals goes, this is definitely one for the diary. From November 3rd to November 6th, Kells in County Meath will come alive with food demonstrations, food markets, cocktail classes, walking tours, children’s cookery classes, long table suppers and so much more. In ancient times, when the feast of Samhain brought people together to celebrate the end of the harvest season, food and drinks were at the centre of their celebrations.
Its that time of year when gardens all around Ireland come to life. Garden centres are a buzz of activity, public gardens welcome lots of visitors and gardeners are busy keeping their creations watered. The best place in Ireland to spend some time visiting gardens is the Boyne Valley. The rich heritage of the Boyne Valley is reflected in gardens that date back to the 17th century. Each garden is open either by appointment, or for a set number of days per year.
