Ghosts of Drogheda




The very popular Ghosts of Drogheda Walking Tour will take place this year on Friday October 25th departing from Drogheda Museum Millmount at 7.20pm and 7.30pm.

Organised by Drogheda Museum Millmount and the Old Drogheda Society,the tour will feature tales of the characters from the past who played roles in Drogheda's history over the years such as Amergin, St Patrick, Edward Bruce, Oliver Cromwell, Sir Arthur Ashton, St Oliver Plunkett, King William of Orange, King James, John Philip Holland, John Boyle O'Reilly and Anne Hardman who came back from the dead.

Some of these characters will again walk the streets of the town as we look into the bloody history of the town. The tours have been booked out for the past four years and they give an interesting and entertaining look at the town's somewhat bloody past.

Tickets for the tours will be on sale from Drogheda Tourist Office in the Tholsel, West Street, Drogheda from Thursday October 3rd, costing €3.
