Dinner at Slane Castle

Prior to the Boyne Music Festival’s evening concert in the iconic ballroom of Slane Castle, the festival welcomes guests to an elegant dinner in the Gandon Room. This 4-course set meal will be an opportunity to experience fine local cuisine in a unique historic setting. Seating for the dinner is limited to 60 guests and early booking is recommended.

The Gandon Room is inspired by James Gandon, one of the principal architects of Slane Castle. A refined and dramatic room, it has been transformed into a comfortable and glamorous restaurant with Gandon’s original designs for the Castle on display in the bookcase.
