Tuesday Afternoon Film Screenings at Ardee Library

Ardee Library screens a family film every Tuesday afternoon at 2:15 PM. There is no booking and no charge, so families can turn up on the day and take a seat. The titles run to well-chosen children’s and family cinema rather than the current multiplex release.
The August run has taken in Kensuke’s Kingdom and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, with The Secret of Kells screening on Tuesday 18 August and Matilda on Tuesday 25 August. The Secret of Kells is the Cartoon Saloon animation nominated for an Academy Award, set around the making of the Book of Kells at the abbey a short drive west of Ardee, which gives it a local hook worth mentioning to children on the way in. Contact the branch before travelling to confirm the title for a given week, as the schedule is set term by term.
Ardee Library is in the centre of Ardee, the market town on the N52 midway between Dundalk and Kells. Drivers coming from the M1 leave at junction 14 and take the N52 west for about ten minutes. From Dundalk the N52 runs south west through Tallanstown, and from Drogheda the N2 and N52 connect via Collon. There is on-street parking on Market Street and Irish Street and free public car parking near the town centre. Bus Éireann route 168 links Ardee with Dundalk and Drogheda, and route 108 runs to Dublin via Slane.
