Lughnasa Weekend at Navan Centre and Fort - Family Fun and Tales of the Past

What to Expect

Navan Centre and Fort hosts a dedicated Lughnasa Weekend in early August 2026, marking the ancient Celtic harvest festival over three days. The weekend opens on Friday evening with “Tales of the Past” - an evening of storytelling and live music rooted in the mythology of Emain Macha. Saturday afternoon is given over to “Games of the Past” - a family fun afternoon with interactive Celtic games and activities suitable for children. The weekend closes on Sunday with a Fused Glass Ogham Experience workshop.

The three-day format provides something for all ages: the storytelling evening suits older children and adults, the Saturday afternoon games session is ideal for families with younger children, and the Sunday craft workshop offers a hands-on creative activity.
