Slane Castle

Over 300 years of stories 🏰🎼🎸 Some real royalty like King George IV and rock royalty too – U2, the Rolling Stones and many others stayed in Slane Castle over the years. In 1984 U2 lived in the Castle while they were recording ‘The Unforgettable Fire’ and one of the videos for ‘Pride’ was filmed in the unique Gothic Revival Ballroom which was created for George IV’s State Visit in 1821. We have tours coming up, join us and walk through the rooms where both real and rock royalty frequented. Tour Dates: 🏰 July 13th & 14th 🏰 July 27th & 28th 🏰 August 5th & 11th Private Tours & St. Erc’s Hermitage Walks also available.

Thank you to Virginia Gospel Choir for the beautiful music this evening 🎶 and everyone for joining us at our Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony ✨🎄

Christmas is a very special time of year at Slane Castle and the traditional start is the Christmas tree lighting ceremony which everyone is invited to. It takes place as twilight falls on Sunday 10th December and is performed by Alex Conyngham, the Earl of Mount Charles in the Courtyard of his ancestral home (approx 5p.m.). Come along and join in the fun. 🎄 Delighted to be joined by Virginia Gospel Choir. Enjoy mulled wine, Irish coffees, Baileys hot chocolate, mince pies and sweet treats to kickstart the Christmas season. Everyone is welcome and entry is free. Slane Distillery and the walking trail are open all day. The estate is open from 10.30a.m. to 7.30p.m. Dogs welcome in the grounds on a lead. There is no lunch menu in Brownes Bar but we will be serving all your favourite Christmas tipples. The Silver Food Truck will have delicious seasonal stew, sausages and treats. The Courtyard and Castle always look wonderful bedecked in their festive finery with the huge courtyard tree as the highlight. There’s no lovelier sight than the twinkling lights of trees and courtyard with the stately Castle as a dramatic backdrop. Don’t miss it! #SaneCastle

The Vikings are Coming! The Vikings are invading Slane Castle this May in a festival of ferocious fighting and family fun. It all harks back to the 8th and 9th century when the invaders in this neck of the woods were very real indeed. This is a fabulous family day out with flashing swords, swooping birds of prey, a tented Viking village, and a fleet of replica longships compete with sailors. Put the weekend of 20/21 May 2023 in your diary now. Details: www.slanecastle.ie/2023/02/22/the-vikings-are-coming/ Buy tickets: www.boynevalleyevents.com With Boyne Valley Viking Experience
