Drogheda Wellness Festival 2026

What to Expect

The Drogheda Wellness Festival takes place at The Marcy Hotel on West Street on Saturday 5 September 2026. It runs as two identical sessions, 11am to 1.30pm and 2pm to 4.30pm, so a ticket buys you one of the two rather than the full day. Each session is built around three rooms. The Wellness Marketplace gathers local practitioners and businesses, the Taster Class Room runs thirty minute sessions you can drop into, and the Speaker Room carries talks and panel discussions.

The keynote comes from Karen Doherty Cooke, speaking on “What Really Is Resilience?”, with Elaine Keogh, Jurgita Pakste, Mark Carolan and Naoimh Goodwin-Sloan confirmed on the panels. Taster classes announced include Exercise for Longevity, Pilates, Yoga and a Sound Bath, and anyone doing the sound bath is asked to bring a blanket and a pillow. Exhibitors listed include Haven Holistic and Beauty, Force One Therapy, Barefoot, Reform Lab, Peter Street Pharmacy and Sensory Space, with red light therapy and ceremonial cacao among the things being demonstrated on the floor. There is also an optional community run beforehand with Cuppa Cardio, setting off at 9am with coffee and cake afterwards.
