Siamsa Glas Festival, a new event in the Boyne Valley scheduled for September 14th and 15th, will celebrate the region’s Greenway and the Irish language and culture of Meath’s Gaeltacht Baile Ghib.
The festival will feature various activities along the Boyne Valley to Lakelands Greenway, including Outdoor Immersive Theatre, Celtic Meditative Sound Bath, family-friendly events like picnics and treasure hunts, and a Céilí Mór at the Gaeltacht.
Michele Whelan, Tourism Officer for Boyne Valley, anticipates a vibrant weekend with cultural events, traditional Irish food, music, and the opportunity to experience both the Irish language and the Greenway.
The launch event at Gibbstown Hall in County Meath on August 8th introduced actors Martin Hubble and Cecily Gibbons from Yellow River Drama Group for the play ‘The Journey’ at Wilkinstown Platform on September 14th and 15th.
Michele Whelan, Tourism Officer for Boyne Valley said “We are really looking forward to celebrating the Irish language and culture along the new Greenway at the Siamsa Glas Festival. There are several fantastic events due to take place on what is sure to be a busy and exciting weekend for the region. The Irish language and culture is a huge part of the Boyne Valley, especially with Meath having two Gaeltachts which are the only Gaeltachts in Leinster. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone to the Boyne Valley for what will be a memorable weekend.”
