Where we meet

The 12th Boyne Music Festival: 24th - 27th July 2025

The Boyne Music Festival returns this summer with an exciting programme of chamber music, poetry, jazz, tours and workshops. This year’s motto Where We Meet is an invitation to acknowledge the beauty in gathering, returning, and reflecting on what we have in common. Festival events will take place in Townley Hall, Slane Castle and Boann Distillery, offering guests plentiful opportunities to listen, participate and connect.

BMF Artists this summer include Deirdre Brenner, Meesun Hong Coleman, William Coleman, Ed Creedon, Aisling Manning, Julie-Anne Manning, Joshua Stewart, Aura Stone, Liubov Ulybysheva, jazz musicians Brigitte Beraha and Barry Green, as well as poet-in-residence Jennifer Horgan. 

Tickets will go on sale 21 April to Friends of the BMF and 28 April to the general public. Whether you are new to the festival, or are a returning guest, we look forward to meeting you in Drogheda this summer!

How did the Boyne Music Festival begin? BMF was established in 2013 by twin sisters Aisling and Julie-Anne Manning and their cousin Deirdre Brenner. Their aim was to bring international performing artists to the Boyne Valley for a weekend of chamber music, poetry and song. Over the last 12 years, the festival has fulfilled this aim, bringing together Irish and international talent, performing innovative programmes in some beautiful and historic locations.
