"This festival is as much about connecting with our personal inner worlds as it is about exploring the outside world."

Mindfulness has always been at the heart of the Boyne Valley Trails September Festival. We want our adventures and events to be an escape from the everyday and to remind us that we can find peace when we commune with nature.

So we are incredibly excited to welcome Marta of to this years festival with her immersive "Rest and Restore" Sound Bath sessions on Sunday 13th and Saturday 19th at 2pm in the peaceful Barlow House. Tickets at boynevalleytrails.ie
