Went to mass here on Sunday. Nothing much to that you say!,But it was the chat with the priest after mass that charmed us.. It being International Women's day, we were all invited to light a candle at a shrine of Our choice, to honour a woman who inspired us. Fabulous gesture. "Have you seen our beautiful garden ' says he. And promptly takes us out to a beautiful memory garden.. It has hand painted walls dedicated to the work of Harry Clarke. Stunning. Lovely remembrance wall set in water feature. Real gem.

Sarsfields bar is one of Drogheda's oldest, and most popular bars. Located beside the historical Laurence's gate, and once owned by the original Jameson distillers, it is the heart of all historic bars in town. A hive of activity, and a certainty to find live music. Our function room, aka 'The Living Room' is also open Thursday to Sunday playing all variations of music, from live bands, to intimate DJ sets. To get a feel of Drogheda's history and iconic bar seen, arrive in and ask a member of staff to bring you up-to-date.

This wonderful monastic site with extensive and interesting ruins is perfect for a self-guided tour given the high quality of the sign-boards. Hearing the chant emmanating from the ruins was quite a magical experience. There are no guided tours at the moment because of Covid 19 but we met with Louis who was giving out work-sheets to families - he was very helpful, invited our questions and was very knowledgeable. This is a great OPW site which is well worth a visit. It is very suitable for families, a great place for a picnic or family walk amid the well-kept and wonderfully spacious grounds.

There are many examples here of Celtic art on the gravestones and crosses here, including the Muiredach's High Cross and several smaller crosses. The docent at the main entry point was amazing!! full of history, stories and just in general a lovely man that we stayed to talk to for about a half hour about more than just the site. Such an unexpected delight.
7. Highlanes Gallery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 47 reviews
A beautiful and unique place to visit for those with a love of art or history.The gallery is sited in the former Drogheda Franciscan Church and part of the Friary; known locally as the ‘High Lane Church’. The Franciscans gifted the property to the people of Drogheda when they ended their 760 year association with the town in 2000. The buildings date from the early 19th century, though elements date back to earlier times.

I always bring my US visitors to St. Peter's Church. It is a beautiful church in the centre of Drogheda. Oliver Plunkett's head (a 17th-century Irish martyr) resides in a shine in the church - worth a visit and a great historical asset.
10. The Bartender
