What awaits you in Drogheda? Ancient gates and walls, sacred sites, old battlegrounds, culture, adventure and nightlife! At a first glance, the small town north of Dublin may not seem like much. However, the churches, Georgian architecture, splendid medieval town gate, and the head of St. Oliver Plunkett might make a short visit well worth your while.
From October 31st to November 2nd, this authentic, small Irish town will also be home to some exiting Halloween events. Partake in the Púca festival, where Halloween’s roots in ancient Celtic tradition is celebrated with great music, food, and cultural events. If festivals aren’t your thing, enjoy some of the time-honored destinations in Drogheda like:
- St. Laurence’s Gate: an almost complete part of the medieval town wall
- St. Mary Magdalen’s Tower: a splendid medieval belfry.
- St. Peter’s Church: a huge Catholic church right in the town center and a place of pilgrimage.
No matter who you are, the town of Drogheda is certainly to have something exciting for you this weekend! Let’s plan your stay together!
