On Wednesday, January 10, from 7pm to 9.30pm, you can enjoy an evening of art, food and music, and (re)discover the Drogheda Municipal Art Collection. Choose from two distinct thematic guided tours of some of the highlights of the Collection, followed by a buffet supper and wine, with live musical accompanim­ent.

Drogheda through the Centuries in the Collection is led by community historian Brendan Matthews.
